My DD is starting reception next month, she's more than ready (and very excited) for school, but not sure we are Confused

We've got most things in terms of uniform, bags etc, but what are the best tips for preparing you and your child for school? Only thing I'm really doing is getting her to practice undressing and re-dressing for when she does PE. Thought it would help a lot of parents if we had some good tips from parents who've been there!

If having school lunches get them to practise carrying a little tray with food and a drink on. They'll get lots of help with all this at first but it's something they might find daunting if they've never done it.

Ooh, just saw that someone had mentioned nit combs. Yes (sorry), get one of them.

And if you want to be ready for the entire onslaught of nits, threadworms, molloscum, verrucas and all the other joys that arrive with the start of school, you might also like to pre-order a copy of Mumsnet's brand spanking new book, How To Blitz Nits (and other nasties) here.

Lots of excellent and hilarious advice straight from the Mumsnet Talk Boards that will see you safely through the primary years (or at least keep you amused while you do your Sunday night nit-raking session).
