EYFS starters 2026

I would like to extend a very warm welcome to all families who have a child joining us at Little Stoke in September 2025. We welcome those of you who already have children in school and those of you who are joining us for the first time. All our friendly staff are looking forward to meeting your child and we know that this is just the start of an exciting journey of learning and discovery!

As well as the induction evening we will hold a  Teddy Bear’s picnic induction event.

Do contact the school via phone or email if you need some urgent questions answered before September.

Best wishes,

Mr Dan Ross

(Headteacher)

 

Below are the key documents and dates which have been shared with parents for your reference.

 

Key dates:

 

Thursday 4th June 2026 at 5.30pm: main induction session for all parents (parent only session)

 

Tuesday 30th June 2026: You and your child are invited to attend either the morning or afternoon ‘Teddy Bear’s Picnic’ event.

 

Starting school September 2025, key dates:

 

From Wednesday 2nd – Thursday 3rd September we will visit parents with their children at home. Your child will not attend school during these days. These are friendly, brief visits to your home and have proven to help transition from home to school for most children.  We will arrange these visits with you during the Induction sessions and Teddy Bear’s Picnic.

On Friday 4th September, you are invited, with your child, to attend either a morning or afternoon short session in the classroom.

Your child will start coming to school on a part-time basis between Monday 7th and Friday 11th September.

From Monday 14th – Wednesday 16th September – all children will be in together on these days but for shorter days, 9:00am-1:15pm.

From Thursday 17th September, all children will attend school full time, every day.
