Transitions happen every day but we know starting nursery and moving on to primary school can be exciting and daunting at the same time.
We strive to help all children to manage ‘change’ as they encounter new experiences and challenges. The children are exposed to many transitions out with the familiar nursery environment e.g. Nature Kindergarten, Eco walks, Library walks as well as transition visits to local Primary Schools. These experiences are repeated and become entrenched in an effort to support the child to make sense of the world around them.
We want to make the transition to school as seamless and natural as possible for all children. Children are gradually introduced to ‘school life’. Staff from both the nursery and the primary school work together to provide a supportive network for both parents and children.
