Although RBA must be conducted in the first 6 weeks of term 1, settling-children into their new class and build the secure attachments that are the springboard for successful learning will still be be the priority for reception teachers.  Bristol Early Years has secured access to a helpful 25-minute video guide to RBA, by independent EY consultant Ruth Swailes, which as well as lots of practical information about how to conduct it, also includes ideas for how to mitigate the impact on children settling-in.
