Winchester nursery manager hosts popular school readiness webinar for parents

A Winchester nursery manager has helped hundreds of local families feel more confident about their children’s transition to school after hosting a popular online preschool webinar.

The session, Preschool and Beyond, was hosted by the team at Bright Horizons, with more than 1,000 current parents registering and over 170 joining live on the day. The event focused on how early years settings support children’s confidence, independence and emotional wellbeing in the run-up to starting school.

Parents took part in a live Q&A and shared their reactions throughout the session, with the chat filled with positive feedback and messages of appreciation.

Katie, Nursery Manager at Bright Horizons Winchester Day Nursery and Pre-school, said:

“Our aim was to reassure parents that school readiness is about much more than letters and numbers. It’s about helping children feel secure, capable and excited about what comes next, and it was great to see how positively families responded.”

Due to demand, the webinar has been made available to watch on demand, allowing parents to access guidance and advice at a time that suits them.
