Starting School Video

The Early Years Inclusion and Childcare Service at Leicestershire Local Authority has created a video for parents/carers entitled ‘Talking about starting school’.


Its aim is to empower parents/carers by helping them recognise that the little things they do every day, will help their child to be ready for school. An essential thread running through the video is about the benefits of attending early years provision.
