The Starting School project is part of the wider Department for Education and Skills programme for developing parenting support through extended schools. Many families go through a rapid adjustment phase as each child starts school age five, then later moves to secondary school age eleven.

These cover everything from having a baby, childcare, schools, health, employment, money, legal and relationship issues.

And, elsewhere on Directgov, parents can also search for jobs and learning opportunities, transport information etc. |
