This resource was developed in response to early years educators identifying a need to support children and ease parental anxiety in relation to transition to school during the Covid19 crisis in 2020. Preparing for Life facilitated online learning sessions during this time where lots of examples of practice and ideas were shared by educators. As a result, a working group was developed to compile those ideas and provide educators and parents with inspiration and support to facilitate children’s learning and development
through play at home. The members of the working group also contributed ideas and resources from their own practice which have been incorporated into the document.
