Children find the transition to school a lot easier after attending Paula’s Academy and get an ideal head start to their early years in education. Preparation for school life is incredibly important, and the feedback Anthony and Stacey have received from both school teachers and parents has been really posi-

The team have worked closely with local schools and new entrant teachers, to get the programme balance right, and the children who attend simply thrive in the environment. Smooth transitions are so important for both children and parents.
