Starting school is an exciting stage, but it also comes with many questions. Not all children are ready at the same time – and that’s perfectly fine. Here are some clear signs that may help you identify whether your child is prepared to take this big step with confidence and reassurance.

📝 Professional tip
It’s not about ticking every box perfectly. It’s about noticing whether, emotionally and socially, they are beginning to adapt to an environment outside the home, with the right support and care.
❤️ What if they don’t show all the signs?
That’s absolutely fine. Every child develops at their own pace. What matters most is that you feel informed and supported, so you can make a calm and confident decision.
