Is your child starting school this September? Our School Here I Come! Sessions are designed to help children aged 3–5 build confidence and get ready for this exciting next step.

We’re running friendly, supportive group sessions every week throughout the six-week summer holidays, both in person and online. These sessions will focus on key skills such as communication, independence, and making new friends—helping children feel more prepared for their first day at school.
Families can join us in a way that suits them, whether that’s face-to-face or from the comfort of home.
Face to face: Each session will take place in one of our Best Start Family Hubs; Middleton Grange, Rossmere, Miers Avenue or Hindpool, click here to find the full address/location of each hub!
