Transitions...

You're off to great places, today is the day! ​Your mountain is waiting so get on your way" Dr Seuss

Transition from home to Nursery...

At Mucky pups each "settling in" is individually tailored to the needs of the child and their family taking into account; age, background, language and development.

We work together with each and every family as individuals in order to show fully support your child's settling in and separation period.

Each settling in process will follow the same basic routine with each stage taking as long as is required for both the child and the parent to be happy to stay with us.

​ It includes;
  • Tour of nursery
  • Information pack.
  • "All About Me" 
  • Key worker and Buddy leafet
  • ​Meet the key worker and buddy session 
  • Settling in session with parents .
  • ​Settling in sessions without parents
  • Any additional needs such as SEND, can be discussed throughout this process
Our aim is that all families and children should feel happy and settled prior to starting their "Learning Journey " with us.

Transition within the Nursery...
​

As we are a small setting ALL children get to know ALL the staff really well and the change form one key worker to another is a very smooth transition.
When the time comes for your child to change groups we alter the daily routine gradually so the children become more an d more familiar with being with their new key worker and buddy.

This includes;
  • A "Stay and Play" session to meet your new key worker
  • Individual meetings to discuss your child with your new key worker
  • Learning journeys and Floor Books passed on to new groups

Our aim is to ensure all families and children are ready to make the move to their next group and feel happy and confident to do so.

Transition to School...
​

We ensure that all children are prepared for their transition into school. 

We have excellent relationships with all of our feeder primary schools and we work closely with them to establish links so children feel safe and secure intheir move.

This includes;
  • Books and stories about starting school
  • A "getting ready for school" parent's meeting 
  • Leaflets about school readiness
  • Uniforms from the local schools to try on in role play time
  • Visits from reception class teachers and on occasions visits with us to their new school
  • Discussions with new schools about the children
  • Transition reports are sent to every school
  • Photo books for the children to look through as part of life at nursery

Our aim is to support each child as much as we can to ensure that they feel happy and safe in their new school environment.
