Welcome! But yes - by six they aren't expected to do more than recognise some letters and count to 30? That can't be right, surely? Here children start school at 4 and most children can do those things when they start.

It might be good in the sense that, even if your DD is the most advanced in the class, she may well not be the only one for whom those targets are inappropriate. If you're lucky, the school will have a decent differentiation plan. But yes, do push, and do think about alternatives.
