The transition to pre-school and big school years! This can be a very exciting time for little ones as they start their journey into education.

This can also be a very turbulent time for both child and parent or carer with experiences of persistent or worsening separation anxieties. 

We understand that our little ones’ adjustment to a new setting can sometimes be a difficult time, particularly as they begin to learn to adapt to school noise, social bustle, lights, uniforms and learning.

This can all begin to impact on stress levels for both child and parent or carer. Emotional stability may seem to have become a roller coaster!

Many pre-schools and schools have their own transition help and support in place that perfectly attends transition needs such as that described above. There are also many community based services that provide information, free support, and various courses to parent and carers. You can usually find out what’s available to ease your concerns or increase your knowledge by talking to your child’s teacher, health visitor or Doctor. Searching the internet for your nearest Children’s Centre may also connect you with information on available free support.

Please feel free to explore our Resource page. We hope there is some ideas, information or service that is helpful to you deciding what to do next.

Your plan. Your decision.
