When your child moves from an early years setting (such as a pre-school or nursery) into a school for the first time, there are plenty of people to help with this process. Schools will have their own system for transition and these should keep the needs of the child and family at the heart of all they do.
A transition meeting should be arranged so that you and early years setting staff, as well as any other professionals who work with your child, can discuss their strengths, needs and required support. Notes from the meeting should be used to help with transition and to ensure your child has all the help they need to settle into their placement.
