Starting school for the first time is a significant milestone in every child's life.  But how do you know when your child is ready?  And what can you do to help them prepare?

Educational and parenting expert Kathy Walker explains how to assess your child's readiness, sets out all the factors to consider, and gives you the information you need to be confident you're making the right decision for your child.  She also provides advice on how to pick a school, and explains the strategies schools use to familiarise children – and their parents – with school.

An essential guide for parents of preschoolers, Ready, Set, Go? will help you give your child the best possible start to their education.
