My neice starts reception in Sept. She lives in a very rural area and unfortunately hasn't got a place at the school where she is a preschooler. This isn't the end of the world. The offered place is a small village school and she will be in a class of only 14 (no split year teaching). The problem is that she is very shy, has struggled socially in the existing place and is very upset about moving somewhere new and making new friends. She has had a few settling in days and there will be more before the summer .
I've suggested getting her interested in her new uniform and getting some starting school books but I would really welcome some other ideas. My (little) sister is quite worried and I am struggling as my boys were gagging to start..
