The biggest problem I've seen with 4+ Assessment Preparations this Year (2026 entry)
/This year has been really eye-opening for me.
You see. this beautiful business grew to levels I didn’t even envision.
We have supported even more parents to be incredibly successful with their children’s 4+ assessments (over 100 children last year).
Preparing for the 4+ Assessments takes a lot of:
TIME
EFFORT
DEDICATION
5% of you are willing to invest in all three of these.
95% of you would prefer to delegate these to someone else.
And it just doesn’t work that way.
You say you put in the work to prepare your child for their 4+ assessments but what you perhaps did was hire an early years teacher who lived local to you and had the ability to come to your home once a week and ask them to prepare your child. Were you in there with your child and this teacher observing exactly what was going on? Were you in there making sure that all 7 area of the EYFS curriculum were being covered? Were you making sure your child had enough learning to get on with during the weeks between seeing your teacher?
YOU have to be willing to put in the work.
Obviously your teacher needs to be putting in the work too - but not just them. This is a team effort.
So when I speak to parents who tell me - ‘I just don’t have time to sit with my child every day!’ and ‘I work and they are at nursery every day!’ those are my red flags. Those parents will never be clients of CMT.
Listen up - I work every day and my son is pretty much at nursery every day full time AND I choose to put in the work to do quality learning with him every single day. It is my choice. And ultimately, it it the choice that over one hundred clients have made this year who have worked with us to prepare their children to be beyond ready for their 4+ assessments.
