First Steps to School

The transition from Nursery to Reception is a significant milestone for children and their parents. While children may feel a mix of excitement, curiosity, and a touch of apprehension, parents often find this an emotional time. A smooth transition requires thoughtful preparation, practical strategies, and emotional support to help children start this new phase with confidence.

To guide you through this important step, Laura Readman and Sheilagh Schweitzer, Heads of Pre-Prep and Head of Early Years, will share their insights and strategies to ensure your child begins school feeling happy, secure, and eager to learn. Open to all parents, not just those joining Holmewood House, the session will offer practical, actionable advice to make this transition seamless.

The event will begin with a coffee chat, and conclude with an optional tour of our Reception facilities, including the Forest School, swimming pool, and beautiful South Lawn.

Sign in is at the school's main reception at the Prep School, where you will be welcomed by staff.
