Preparing for School

An important part of nursery is to prepare children for going to primary school. A lot changes for both the youngsters and their parents, so ensuring they are ready for the transition is a priority.

Dedicated practitioners teach new skills through various activities, helping children to develop communication, confidence and independence. Additionally, kids learn the basics of English and Maths to get them started at primary school.

Classroom Engagement

Focus can be difficult for children at school, especially if they have never had to focus on academic assignments for extended periods of time before. To encourage classroom engagement, youngsters are given challenging tasks that require them to get creative and use problem-solving skills.

Once they have completed a project or solved their puzzle, children will feel more confident in themselves. This confidence can encourage engagement in future tasks and classes as they will feel more confident in their skills.

Improve Social Skills & Independence

Children need the time and space to learn how to make friends, work with others and have confidence in themselves. These valuable skills are essential for starting a new school and engaging successfully in classes.

At nursery, youngsters have plenty of time to practice teamwork through cooperative games, whether they are playing at break time or a practitioner sets a team task. In addition, they will learn how to listen to others and express their own opinions.
