Transition to Reception

Our aim is to ensure that the transition from the Pre-School to Reception is as seamless as possible and, when it is time for them to move up to Reception, they will have the essential tools for a more formal education. The children are happy and confident to move up into the school, as they are already very familiar with the environment and the teachers.

At age 2, in Toddlers, children will be joining us for the first time so we aim to make the transition as smooth as possible. We help children gently adapt to new routines and help them build strong bonds with their Key Person and make new friends. Our pupils settle in quickly and soon come racing through the door each morning.

At age 3 they move up into the Pre-School group, where they will really start to develop their sense of self, becoming independent little people with opinions and questions that all help them to understand their place in the world and to absorb new skills and information like sponges! The play-based learning continues, adding in new experiences and layering over new opportunities to develop their language, to build relationships, to be imaginative and develop all the skills they need for the big step into Reception.
