We are moving in the Wales prefecture of UK from slovakia. I have a 5 year old girl and I am worried much about the education gap this will present for her.

Is my child likely to be integrated with no much trouble. School here starts from 6 years of age, there has been no formal education for her to this point?

Her English is no so good and very basic, she only knows her name on being written, no phonetic sounds yet. We have a different alphabet here.

Customs here are very different too. If my 5 year old was to take in cakes and donuts to school on her name day would this be seen as strange?
Or would the school could use this as a learning time for more understanding other cultures?
Is it only birthdays to be celebrated?

Happy Christmas, OP. I'm happy you are settling in and enjoying life in Wales!

How lovely to hear from you! I'm not in Wales so didn't respond originally, but I remembered this thread and how welcoming the Welsh posters were to you.
I'm glad you're settled in, and have a wonderful Christmas!

Thank you for the update. It would be interesting to know what differences you have seen in life between Slovakia and Wales (UK). Do have a good Christmas.

Great you are enjoying it and excited for the Christmas season! It's brave to move to a new country and start a new life.
