The Key to a Confident & Prepared Reception Start
Starting Reception is a huge milestone! Imagine your child walking into their first day of school feeling confident, excited, and fully prepared to engage in learning and friendships. Our Reception Ready programme ensures your child develops the academic, social, and practical skills they need to thrive in Reception and beyond.

Designed for children aged 3–5 years, whether homeschooled or preparing for school, these personalised sessions provide an engaging, hands-on approach to learning—all in the comfort of your home.

Why Reception Ready Stands Out from Other Preparations
Unlike group classes where children may feel overwhelmed, our one-on-one sessions allow children to build confidence at their own pace. This is a completely individualised programme—just your child and me, with no classroom setting or group work. Each session is designed to be fully tailored to their unique needs, ensuring focused and personalised learning.

What Your Child Will Master Before Starting Reception
Our structured sessions cover:
✅ Early literacy & phonics – Developing letter recognition, sounds, and blending skills.
✅ Early numeracy – Counting, number sense, and basic problem-solving.
✅ Fine motor skills – Strengthening pencil grip, scissor use, and hand-eye coordination.
✅ Practical life skills – Dressing independently, managing personal belongings, and following routines.
✅ Social confidence – Turn-taking, communication, and positive classroom interactions.

Taster Session Available
We understand that every child is unique, and it is important to find the right fit. That is why we offer a one-off taster session before committing to a package. This allows your child to experience the programme and ensures it aligns with your expectations before investing in ongoing sessions.

Building Social Confidence & Friendships Before Reception
One of the biggest challenges for new Reception students is learning to navigate social settings—making friends, following instructions, and feeling confident in a group. That’s why our Reception Ready programme integrates:
✅ Turn-Taking & Sharing Activities – Teaching children patience and cooperation.
✅ Group Play Simulation – Practising interactions through role-play and storytelling.
✅ Emotional Expression & Self-Regulation – Helping children express feelings and handle frustrations in a healthy way.
By the time your child starts school, they will be familiar with the classroom structure, making friends with ease, and confidently engaging in group activities.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do Reception Ready sessions help my child?
Our programme ensures your child feels confident and excited to start school. We focus on early literacy, numeracy, and social skills, as well as independent self-care habits that will help them thrive in a structured school setting.

What if my child already knows some letters and numbers?
Sessions are fully tailored to your child’s level. If they already have basic literacy and numeracy skills, we introduce more challenging activities to build fluency and confidence.

How do you ensure my child develops social skills?
While sessions are one-on-one, we incorporate role-play, storytelling, and social games to prepare your child for classroom interactions. We also provide guidance for parents on how to reinforce social skills at home.
