NEW STARTERS TRANSITIONS
It is a good idea to prepare your child for Nursery so their transition into education is a smooth one.
We invite parents/ carers and their children to transition events where they can relax during a 'stay and play session' and look around their classroom and meet their teacher in a 'getting to know you session'.
Where possible staff complete a home visit where they meet each child in their home. We believe home visits support better relationships with adults and children and allow staff to know each child more quickly. They also show children that staff are trusted adults. Parents/ carers can also ask questions in the security of their own home.
Once preparations are complete, children start Nursery during settling in week. Most children come with their parent/ carer for 1 hour on the first day, for one hour without a grown up on the second day, for an hour and a half on day two, for two hours on day three, for two and a half hours on day four and for three hours on day five- a full session. We are very flexible and some children may take longer to settle.
