fourth birthday, although
this is not compulsory and
parents can choose to de

Teachers and early years
staff are trained to en-
able children to make good
progress in learning the
skills which are essential
for learning and success at
school, and in other aspects
of their lives. Profession
als will use their judgment
about the right mix of ac-
tivities that are initiated
by the child or led by the
teacher.
That balance may shift
over the course of the re-
ception year, in order to
ensure that children’s skills
and knowledge in language,
