Assessment Options
Understanding where your child is – and how best to support them – is an important part of the journey. Our assessment options are designed to provide clarity, reassurance and a clear sense of direction at every stage . Whether you are at the beginning of preparation or approaching a key entrance point, each assessment offers meaningful insight into your child’s strengths, areas for development and readiness.
What we offer
Early Years Assessments
3+, 4+ and 5+
(Group and Individual)
Gentle, age-appropriate assessments that build familiarity while providing valuable insight into your child’s early development.
Progress Assessments
A comprehensive view of your child’s academic profile, including national benchmarking, attainment and potential, delivered through accredited CEM assessments.
These assessments are developed and scored by an organisation within the Cambridge University family and are typically available only within schools.
Individual Mock Assessment
7+ to 13+
A more focused experience under realistic exam conditions, offering clear insight into performance, exam technique and confidence under pressure.
Group Mock Assessments
7+ to 13+
Carefully designed to reflect real school entry assessments, mocks help your child become familiar with the structure, pace and expectations of the process in a calm and supportive environment.
Mock Exams and Interviews
Our mock exams closely reflect real school assessments, helping children become familiar with format, timing and expectations in a calm, supportive setting. Each is marked by experienced teachers, with detailed feedback and scripts provided.
Interview preparation is available individually or in small groups, mirroring school interview formats and activity days. This helps children feel confident, prepared and at ease in a range of situations.
What you can expect
- Realistic but supportive assessment environments
- Detailed, thoughtful feedback beyond scores
- Clear guidance on next steps
- Optional follow-up discussions and school advice
Our approach
We understand that how a child feels during the process is just as important as how they perform. Every assessment is delivered in a calm, carefully managed setting, allowing children to engage with confidence and without unnecessary pressure.
Our aim is to ensure that both you and your child feel informed, supported and fully prepared – with a clear understanding of progress and a thoughtful plan for what comes next.

I cannot praise Mums in the Wood enough for their professional service in helping chart the educational journey of my three children. Rajni was exceptionally thorough, taking the time to get to know me and what my desires and expectations for my children were as well as getting to know the children themselves in order to make informed suggestions and give sound advice and direction. The service was comprehensive; I was given advice on potential schools for my children as well as a variety of resource recommendations in order to boost their educational experiences both on the academic as well as extra curricular front. My 2 daughters under went educational assessments conducted by Mums in the Wood, and the reports i received were incredibly astute, thorough and in depth. I was able to get an accurate picture of exactly where the girls are at, as well as where there needs to be improvement. I found the service invaluable and would recommend this to any one who is looking at finding the right school fit for their child at any entry level, or any parent trying to get an accurate assessment of their child's ability with regards to the 4+ 7+ or 11+ examinations.
