A film that aims to help support families with pre-school children in Gedling borough is set to premier tomorrow (16).
“Early Years” is a film that aims to showcase the services and support available to parents in the borough to best prepare their children for school.
The film, which has been commissioned by Gedling Borough Council, Gedling Homes and Nottinghamshire County Council, will be shown on July 16 at Carlton Pentecostal Church and will also be made available to watch online after the premiere.
The film can be watched online at at www.gedling.gov.uk/gettingreadyforschool.
As well as the film, visitors to the site will also find tips on getting children ready for school, information on skills children need, how to help children learn and a full list of support organisations in Netherfield and Colwick.
Sharon Gray OBE, Headteacher at Netherfield Primary and Pre-School said: “It has been a joy to work with all the providers across Gedling to create what I know will be an incredibly useful support for everyone.
“The resources we have for our pre-school youngsters across Gedling are second to none, ensuring our youngest children get the very best start possible, creating a platform for future success and making an incredible difference.”
Councillor Kathryn Fox, Portfolio Holder for Communities said: “We’re very excited about this project.
“It’s not often we get lights and cameras in Netherfield and Colwick and it’s a great opportunity to highlight an important issue for parents with children starting school in September.”
