School Readiness

At Pear Tree, we prepare confident, independent children for school through friendships, emotional strength, self-care and close links with local primaries.

School Readiness at Pear Tree Nursery

We believe school readiness is about much more than knowing letters and numbers – it’s giving children the confidence, skills and emotional strength to shine when they start “big school”.

Every day we help children:

  • Build friendships through sharing, turn-taking and playing cooperatively
  • Recognise and manage big feelings with kind support from our team
  • Listen attentively, chat confidently and follow simple instructions
  • Strengthen little hands for writing and bodies for active play
  • Solve problems, stay curious and concentrate for longer periods
  • Grow independent – dressing themselves, toileting, and managing personal belongings

We work closely with local primary schools and love welcoming their teachers to see our children in action. Smooth, happy transitions are at the heart of what we do!
