Starting Reception offers families clear, practical ideas around developing independence, establishing routines, supporting early communication skills, and preparing children emotionally and socially for their first days in school. Schools may also find it helpful to highlight the free Potty Training Guide and Toothbrushing Guide, available through the site.
