Presentation for Nursery & Reception New Starters
All parents want the best for their children. Having a good education is important to ensure that children have the best opportunities in their adult life. They only get one chance at school, and your child’s future may be affected by not attending school regularly.
Good habits must be formed right from the start of their school life.
We hope that you find the leaflet below helpful in explaining the benefits of good attendance.

Class Dojo – EYFS Learning Journey Information for Parents
We are very excited about your child starting in September and are looking forward to getting to know them. However, we do understand that even the most confident children can be shy or a little reluctant to talk to staff they are unfamiliar with. To help overcome this during the first few weeks, we would like to offer your child an activity to complete ready for their first few days at school.
