Starting school is an exciting milestone for both children and families. It’s completely natural to feel a mix of excitement and nerves as your child prepares for their first day.
At Thringstone, we want every child to begin their school journey feeling confident, included and ready to thrive. Helping your child develop independence and feel comfortable with simple routines can make a big difference as they settle into school life.
Every child is different, and there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach. The resources below offer helpful guidance, checklists and activities to support you and your child in the weeks leading up to starting school.
