Children joining us at Blairdardie come from a large number of different nurseries, pre-5 centres and early years establishments.

When we know your child has a confirmed place with us, we begin our transition work with your child’s establishment. Staff contact your child’s key worker and begin a professional dialogue which allows us to make individual plans to ensure your child’s needs are met when they join us.

A full induction programme is available each session, where children and parents are welcomed on three afternoons to meet the rest of the P1 cohort, see the school setting, meet key staff and hear important information.

In addition to these links at transition, we have fruitful links with our closest nursery:

Cloverbank Nursery School Janice McIntyre (HT) 0141 944 8678

and enjoy a year long programme of transition activities including visits to Nativities, School Fayres, reading sessions and Buddy Meetings.
