Getting ready to start
New To Nursery
Thank you for choosing Eldwick Primary School for your child.
Many parents ask us how they can help their child to feel ready for Nursery so we have developed a booklet with a list of typical skills we would expect your child to have in place when they start with us. Practising these will help make your child’s transition into Nursery as positive as possible.
We understand that every child grows and learns at their own pace. If your child is still developing some of these skills, please don’t worry. If you have any questions, or you'd like ideas of how to support your child at home, please ask: we are always happy to help. Working together ensures your child feels settled, confident and excited for their start in Nursery.
