Event Description
Is Your Little One Starting School Soon? Let’s Get Ready Together!
Starting school is a big milestone, exciting, a little nerve-wracking, and full of new adventures! Our Starting Reception Workshop is here to help both you and your child feel confident, prepared, and ready to make this transition a positive one.
Join us for a friendly, practical session packed with tips on:
Building independence – coats, shoes, toileting and more
Supporting social and emotional skills
Everyday ideas to get school-ready
Helping you feel calm and prepared for this new chapter
This workshop is perfect for parents and carers of children aged 3+ living in the London Borough of Sutton. (Please note: spaces are not suitable for children under 3.)
Facilitated by Sutton Children’s Centres & Sutton Health & Care, it’s also a great opportunity to connect with other parents, ask questions, and get support in a relaxed, friendly setting.
Spaces are limited, book today and let’s make starting school an exciting adventure!
By booking, you consent to sharing your details with Sutton Health & Care for the purpose of this workshop.
