Preparing for Reception
Our Nursery children are well-prepared for the transition to Reception, thanks to the close connection with the Pre-Prep, located right next door. Regular visits for special events, such as celebration assemblies, help foster this familiarity, and our children enjoy lunchtime together every day.
Reception teachers, along with our specialist staff—including Miss Lamb (Director of Music), Madam Davies (French teacher), Miss Kim (Ballet teacher), and sports teachers—often spend time in the nursery. They lead engaging sessions each week, ensuring a smooth transition.
In our nursery, we weave phonics, letters, shapes, and numbers into all our creative activities, equipping our nursery leavers to become confident learners. The children are introduced to our phonics approach through Super Sonic Phonic Friends, helping them build a strong foundation in literacy. Our dedicated teachers, including those in the nursery, are trained and experienced practitioners.
This seamless transition allows children to enter Reception with confidence and big smiles, ready for their next exciting adventure!
