A Fun and Engaging Welcome Day with Dance, Movement and Play
Starting school is one of the biggest milestones in a child’s life. For many children and families, the transition into Reception can bring a mixture of excitement, uncertainty, and anxiety.
At Little Movers, we believe every child deserves to start their school journey feeling confident, welcomed, and ready to thrive.
That’s why we created Ready, Steady, School! a fun, interactive welcome event designed for schools and nurseries to support children as they prepare for their move into Reception.
What is Ready, Steady, School?
Ready, Steady, School! is a specially designed session that uses dance, movement, music, and play to help children become familiar with their new environment, build confidence, and make new friends before their first day.
The programme can be delivered during the summer term, over the school holidays, or throughout September to support children as they settle into their new setting.
How Does It Benefit Schools and Nurseries?
A positive transition experience can make a significant difference to how children adapt to school life.
Our sessions help to:
- Welcome new children and families into your setting
- Build children’s confidence and independence
- Encourage friendships before the first day of school
- Create positive relationships between families and staff
- Support children in becoming emotionally ready for school
- Strengthen your school or nursery community
Supporting Families Through Transition
Starting school is not only a big step for children; it can also be an emotional time for parents and carers.
Ready, Steady, School! provides families with an opportunity to explore the setting, meet staff, and connect with other parents in a relaxed and enjoyable environment. This helps build trust and confidence before September arrives.
Flexible Delivery to Suit Your Setting
We understand that every school and nursery is different.
Our Ready, Steady, School! sessions can be delivered:
- Before September starts
- During transition events
- Throughout the first weeks of term
- As part of your Reception or nursery induction programme
We work alongside schools and nurseries to create an experience that meets the needs of your children, families, and community.
Give Children the Best Possible Start
A child who feels confident, connected, and excited about school is more likely to settle quickly and enjoy a positive start to their education journey.
Ready, Steady, School! helps create those important first experiences that children and families remember long after the first day has passed.
