Why a Great Start in Reception Matters So Much
Getting comfortable with the basics in Reception sets the stage for your child's entire school journey. When they feel confident with early phonics, like recognising letter sounds, and grasp simple number concepts, it doesn't just help them in a busy classroom; it builds a love of learning. These foundational skills are the building blocks for everything that follows, from reading their first book to tackling maths problems later on, ensuring they have a positive and successful experience throughout their time in the Salford school system.

Tracy has a lovely teaching style and engages my daughter in her lessons very well. Over time, she has grown her interest in maths, an area she has not felt confident in. She looks forward to her lessons with Tracy which is lovely to see. Tracy's encouraging and nuturing teaching style really has drawn my daughter to appreciating and enjoy the learning experience. Many thanks Tracy!!

Rachael T
Rachael has been teaching my son, who recently started reception, and her impact has been remarkable. She quickly identified the areas where he needed extra support and has been incredibly intentional in tailoring her lessons. The detailed feedback she provides is invaluable, helping us understand how to support him effectively at home. My son genuinely looks forward to his classes with her, and although I was initially concerned about his ability to focus during an online session, he now asks eagerly every day if he'll be seeing Mrs Rachael again.
