Welcome to Waterside!
In Hertfordshire we believe that children who are school ready are happy, healthy, curious and ready to learn.
We know that children develop at their own pace and that you as parent/carers are your child’s greatest teacher. To ensure your children are supported in the transition to school life, we have come up with some ideas that may help you.
Visit www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/readyforschool for ideas that will help you and your child get ready for school.
