Starting Reception – Encouraging Independence
Starting Reception marks a big step in your child's learning journey, and we're here to make that transition as smooth and positive as possible. As part of developing confidence and self-care skills, we encourage children to be as independent as they can with toileting. We understand that every child is different, and our caring staff are always available to support and guide children whenever needed.
To help you prepare your child for this exciting new stage, we've provided some useful resources. Please click the links below for tips and guidance on supporting toileting independence at home.
