Getting Ready For School Pack
 
This is a great 30 page pack full of guidance, ideas and activities to help your children/mindees learn the skills they will need as they embark on their new adventure.  As an experienced Reception and Nursery teacher turned childminder, I thought a lot about the preparations for school and how I can help, so I created this.
 
Although it's paper based, it's not about filling out worksheets because it's filled with inspiring ideas that can be taken off the page and turned into fun activities that you and your child can do together.  It’s as much about spending time together, whether you're a parent. carer, grandparent or care giver! 
 
The pack is sent as a PDF for you to download and print at home, so you can use it more than once. However, it is subject to copyright and is only for use by the person purchasing it. For example, a childminder can purchase it and send it out to the mindees within their setting or an individual parent may purchase their own copy for their child.
