School Readiness Evening at Bright Horizons City Child

The Park Ready for School

Is your little one getting ready for big school? Join us for a cosy and confidence-boosting evening all about helping your child (and you!) feel prepared, excited, and supported for their next adventure: Reception.

You’ll also get a chance to explore our vibrant Preschool rooms, ask our nursery team any questions (big or small), and experience how we nurture your child’s confidence, curiosity and love of learning at Bright Horizons. 

Date: Monday 17th June

Time: 5:00 – 6:30 PM

Location: City Child Nursery and Preschool

Open to: Existing and local families

What’s it all about?

Think of this as your all-in-one guide to everything “big school.” Join us for a relaxed and friendly evening where we’ll chat about:

  • The schools in our local area and how we work closely with them to make transitions smoother.
  • How we help children feel school-ready – from self-care to social skills and everything in between.
  • How (and when!) to apply for a primary school – we’ll demystify the process.
  • What Reception is really like – including classroom routines, play-based learning, and school-day rhythms.
  • Big feelings and big milestones – we’ll talk about the emotional side of starting school (for children and parents alike!).
  • Uniforms, expectations, and tiny shoes – what you really need to know.
  • Personalised transition plans – because every child’s journey is different, and we’re here to support each one.

You’ll also get to see real photos of the classrooms your child may soon be walking into and meet other families who are on the same journey.
