Starting school should be fun
Do you have a preschooler?
Would you like them to develop some key skills before starting school?
How wonderful to go in on that first day feeling like you belong.
What is Get Set Five?
Get Set Five is a week-by-week plan to get your child ready for school.
A readymade plan
The planning is done for you. There’s no need to decide what to do this week: it simply arrives in your inbox every Wednesday, in plenty of time for the weekend. No special resources, no time-consuming set-ups.
Manageable steps
Easy-to-do activities delivered via email in manageable, weekly chunks.
The activities build upon each other until your child has all the skills they need.
Essential skills
It’s tempting to focus on numbers and letters. But a happy start depends as much on being able to dress yourself, use a knife and fork and having a positive attitude.

Start school happy
Watch it all fall into place on that first day
It's not about being ahead or behind
It’s about getting the basics right, in a fun and pressure-free way. For example, how learning to draw a stick man will help your child to write her name or how pairing socks can encourage early maths.
Not for helicopter parents
Get Set Five! is not about hothousing. It’s about making a happy start. It’s about feeling ‘suitable’.
A fundamental goal of a school-start transition is to help young children feel suitable in school, that is, to have a feeling of well-being and belonging.
