FAQ
Find quick answers to your questions about our fun, play-based classes and enrolment process.
What age are the classes suitable for?
Our classes are designed for children aged 3-5 years old who are within their anti-pre or pre-school year at nursery who are getting ready to start Primary school.
Do I stay with my child during the class?
Yes, at Ready Steady School, we ask parents and carers to stay and enjoy the session with their child. It’s a great way to support their learning and see your child’s development first-hand.
What will my child learn in these sessions?
Each class focuses on building a strong foundation in early literacy and numeracy, alongside supporting fine motor skills, social confidence, and independent routines – all through a play-based, engaging format.
But won’t my child already be doing this at nursery?
Yes – and that’s brilliant! Nurseries do a fantastic job of providing rich, play-based learning experiences led by the children’s interests. Ready Steady School builds on that by offering an extra layer of focused support in key areas like early literacy, numeracy, and independence.
Our classes are designed to gently introduce the types of activities your child will encounter in school – all through fun, engaging play. The extra exposure helps build familiarity, boost confidence, and reinforce important skills in a calm and nurturing environment. It’s the perfect way to support your child’s transition to P1 and help them feel proud, capable, and ready for the exciting journey ahead.
What should my child bring with them?
Just themselves and a smile! All materials and resources are provided. If your child has any specific needs or allergies, just let us know when booking so we can make suitable arrangements.
Can I bring a younger sibling too?
At Ready Steady School, we recognise how busy it can be to juggle the schedules of family life especially when there are multiple children to consider. That’s why we would like to make it simple and open an invitation to bring any younger siblings to the classes too. Although the activities will be tailored for the 3-5 age range, younger children are welcome to access and play with resources at their own developmental level. Any additional child under 1 is welcome free of charge, and any sibling aged 1 or 2 will be charged at a discounted rate of £3 a session. This will be taken on the day via cash or card.
