Reception school report

My DD is 4 (summer born) and had her autumn term report yesterday. Everything else says excellent but her maths and literacy are below expected. Feel like it’s something I’ve done wrong but I’ve always done phonics with her and read books with her and shapes and numbers so I don’t know where I’ve gone wrong but feel like I’ve failed her!!

Where I come from, we start school at 6/7. The only maths I think I could "do" at 4 years old is to count to 100.
I have two degrees and a professional job now. I also went to a grammar school specialising in maths and chemistry.
I am not sure what literacy and maths standards could be expected of such a wee child. I can't imagine you failed her at all. Please don't give it another thought.
