Skills for Starting School: BBC CBeebies Parenting

This session will introduce the BBC CBeebies Parenting Skills for Starting School resources - free, evidence based content created with child development experts to help families build key readiness skills before the transition to primary school. The collection covers essential areas such as toilet independence, early language learning, confidence, self care routines, and practical everyday tasks, offering simple activities and accessible guidance you can share directly with families.

The session shows how these resources can help people working in health, early education, family services and the voluntary sector to support families at home, boost children’s early learning, and give parents simple, trustworthy advice that’s right for their child’s stage of development.
