Relocation Support
Relocating a family, whether within the UK or internationally, often brings with it significant educational decisions and considerable uncertainty for parents. Identifying the right school, understanding admissions timelines, navigating unfamiliar systems and ensuring continuity for a child academically, socially and emotionally can quickly become overwhelming, particularly when combined with the practical demands of relocation itself.
At Mums in the Wood Education, we provide carefully tailored educational relocation support for families moving both within the UK and from overseas. Our role is to simplify the process and provide clear, experienced guidance at every stage, ensuring that educational decisions are thoughtful, well informed and aligned with each child’s individual needs and long-term potential.
We work closely with families from the earliest stages of relocation, helping parents understand the educational landscape, identify suitable schools and develop realistic, carefully considered shortlists based on academic profile, personality, learning style, location and future aspirations.
Support may include:
- School searches and shortlists
- Open day coordination
- Educational assessments
- Mock assessments & interview preparation
- Academic reports
- Admissions guidance
- Application support
- Ongoing planning
Our assessments and academic reviews are designed not only to establish a child’s current level, but also to identify strengths, potential and any areas requiring support before entry into a new school environment. This allows families to approach applications and transitions with greater clarity and confidence.
We understand that relocation often involves far more than simply changing schools. Children may be adapting to a new country, a different educational culture, unfamiliar expectations and significant personal change. Our approach is therefore both strategic and highly supportive, ensuring that children feel prepared academically while also feeling secure and settled emotionally.
We support families all the way from the initial stages of school research and open day visits through to assessments, interviews, admissions and successful school placement.
Above all, our aim is to make what can often feel like a daunting process much simpler, calmer and manageable, allowing families to focus not only on securing the right school place, but also on ensuring that children transition happily and confidently into the next stage of their education.
We’ve been extremely fortunate to have found Rajini. Her knowledge and connections of the entrance exam process are matched only by her kindness and patience. She brings reassurance to the stresses that parents (and their children) go through and, without being pushy, helps unlock the doors on what can realistically be achieved for your child.Before we met Rajini, the schooling system was largely unknown to us and we seemed to be constantly finding out after the event the things we’d like to have known much earlier. With Rajini, suddenly the various options on the route forward became much clearer. She’s immensely practical and supportive, and gives you not just a framework to understand what’s out there but real “knowhow” - practical steps tailored to your situation that really do make a difference.It was far from easy, but our son ended up in his (and our) first choice school in his 11+ exams. Rajini was with us every step of the way.If there’s one person you could pick to be on your side to help navigate the ridiculously challenging school entrance process, it would be Rajini. We couldn’t recommend her enough.
Rajni is an exceptional education consultant and a wonderful source of information. She will always tailor her advice to your specific situation and requirements and is very insightful and thorough. I wouldn't want to navigate the current educational landscape without her!
We are expecting soon and wanted some expert assistance in navigating the nursery/pre-prep system so we are not stressed after birth.Rajni was amazing, reassuring and incredibly knowledgeable about the North London schools and was able to give excellent, personal insight into the schools we had in mind. Can't wait to work with Rajni again.

Rajni is a very special educator and has an incredible way with children to bring out their best potential. Not only does she have unique knowledge about schools, particularly in North London, she goes above and beyond to create a special learning environment highly tailored to each child. She was incredibly helpful in our journey to find the right schools for our daughter at 4+ and then to help prepare her for the assessments. I don't often write reviews but felt it necessary since I honestly cannot recommend Rajni highly enough. Having secured 4 out of 5 offers (including our first choice) from top N London schools, we have walked away from this process knowing that we have invested in our daughters future and this was money well spent.
