Skills to practise before starting Reception
Starting Reception is a big step, and learning some key skills now will help your child feel more confident and settled when the time comes. Over the next few weeks, we’ll share simple activities you can build into your everyday routine. These will help your child grow in independence, curiosity, and confidence. Some children may already do some of these things, and celebrating their progress and gently encouraging them to keep practising makes a big difference.

Strong bodies help build strong minds, and support your child’s journey to school readiness. 🏃🖍️⚽ Through play, movement, and hands-on activities, children develop coordination, balance, and the motor skills they’ll use every day in school.
You can support physical development by:
🌳 Encouraging running, jumping, climbing and outdoor play
🧩 Playing with puzzles, building blocks, or threading beads
✂️ Letting them practise using scissors and holding pencils
🎯 Playing games that involve throwing, catching or kicking balls
Every jump, scribble and catch is helping your child get ready for the classroom – and for life.

Independence grows confidence, and helps children feel ready for the school day. 💪👟🍽️
Everyday tasks like getting dressed, using the toilet, or feeding themselves help little ones feel proud, capable, and ready to join in.
You can support your child’s growing independence by:
🧥 Encouraging them to put on their own coat and shoes
🍽️ Letting them practise with forks, spoons, and cups
🚽 Supporting toilet habits with gentle reminders
🧹 Helping them tidy up after playtime
Celebrate the small wins – they all add up to big confidence when it’s time for school.

Healthy routines help little ones feel their best – and build the foundations for school success. 🛏️🥦
🧼 Consistent sleep, good nutrition, and daily habits like brushing teeth or handwashing all support their wellbeing and confidence.
You can help your child get school-ready by:
🕗 Sticking to regular bedtimes and wakeups
🍎 Eating healthy meals and snacks together
🦷 Brushing teeth morning and night
🤲 Washing hands before meals and after the toilet
🏃 Playing outside every day for fresh air and movement
Small routines, big difference. These habits help children feel calm, capable, and ready to thrive. 🌟
