Quality transitions that are well-prepared and child-centred, managed by trained staff collaborating with one another, and guided by an appropriate curriculum, enhance the likelihood that the positive impacts of early learning and childcare will last through primary school and beyond. (OECD, 2017:19)
A very warm welcome awaits all of our new entrants and we are delighted that you will be joining Crookfur in session 2023/2024. We strive to ensure that all our children and families are supported throughout the transition process from nursery to primary one.
