Is your little one starting Reception this September?

If your child is starting Reception this September, and your head is spinning with what you need to know and do, then make sure you read my article for all my hints and tips.

My eldest started school in 2021, and my youngest starts this September, so I’ve collated all my advice, along with that of the other mums at our school (all hail the School Parents WhatsApp group - you'll be needing this!)

Please share with any friends who have children starting Reception this September.
