Hi just wondering if anyone has done this thought about doing this?

If so where does one find such a tutor? different ones for certain schools? How does it work? How much does it cost?

(Really don't want to get into the "don't tutor at this debate" pls)

Seriously though, it's not a question of finding a tutor - you won't find them for this age and there aren't even that many who focus on 7+.

Assessments at 4+ are no predictor of successful entry at 7 or 11 or CE. Spend sometime on the independents section of the elevenplusforum and you'll get some idea of what lies ahead. But drop the 4+ paranoia, it really isn't something that you can influence that much and will only end up stressing you (and possibly your dc) even more.

Oh, but you are, sadly, so very wrong, thenevernever.
There are plenty of oppurtunistic spin doctors - even on these very pages - who pander to parents anxieties and greedily gladly charge for superfluous tutoring of toddlers.
Shame.
