Course Overview

Welcome to a no-nonsense, high-impact course designed for nursery practitioners, EYFS leads, key workers, and anyone who’s ever sighed at the phrase “they’ll catch up in Reception.” This isn’t about panic-prepping kids to sit at desks. It’s about practical ways to build school-ready children using real routines, playful strategies, and the good sense you already have.

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to:

  • Spot key readiness behaviours (and red flags)

  • Weave readiness into daily routines

  • Talk confidently to parents about school readiness (without causing a meltdown)

  • Help every child move from “not quite” to “nearly there”
