New Free Resources for Families

Starting school is a huge milestone for every child – and every parent. 

It’s exciting, but it can also feel a little daunting. That’s why we’ve teamed up with child development expert Dr. Amanda Gummer and the Good Play Guide to share a new set of free, practical resources designed to help families get ready for this big step.

These resources are full of playful ideas, tips, and activities that build the skills children need to thrive in the classroom – from making friends and building confidence, to practising self-care and getting used to routines.

They are easy to use at home, and most importantly, they make preparing for school fun.

Whether you’re a parent looking for reassurance, a carer wanting to support a little one’s confidence, or an activity provider keen to share guidance with your families, these tools are here to help. They cover everything from developing social skills and independence, to encouraging curiosity and resilience.

We know that every child is different, and there’s no single checklist for being “school ready.” What matters most is helping children feel comfortable, capable, and excited to begin their journey.


Visit goodplayguide.com/school-readiness to explore the resources, including this free Play Guide

and join us in giving children the best possible start to school.
