What does transition from nursery look like?

October 13, 2020 by

As we don’t have our own nursery the Reception teacher works closely with feeder nursery schools. Children typically come from several local nurseries and quickly make friends. Transition usually involves

The Reception teacher arranging to visit the child in their setting and inviting the child into our school for a couple of short sessions to become familiar with staff and the building. Usually parents are invited to a meeting once they accept their place.

Some children require more transition work and this is organised to meet individual needs.
