Synopsis

GETTING READY TO START SCHOOL covers everything from choosing and applying for primary schools, to preparing your child in order to making their transition as smooth as possible, to what to expect once they get there, including the impact on parents, as they adapt to the politics of the school gate and to life fitting round the school days and terms.

With input from childcare professionals, experienced teachers and Netmums themselves, GETTING READY TO START SCHOOL is the only book a parent will need to plan their child's first step into education and get them off to a happy start.
