Talking about Starting School Video for parents and carers

The Early Years Inclusion and Childcare Service has created a video for parents/carers entitled ‘Talking about starting school’.

Its aim is to empower parents/carers by helping them recognise that the little things they do every day help their child to be ready for school. An essential thread running through the video is about the benefits of attending early years provision.

The video can be found here:
