With so many of our pre-schoolers starting to leave nursery as they prepare to start school in September, we thought it would be helpful to share some guidance on how to make this transition as smooth as possible for you and your child.
Starting school is an exciting milestone for both children and parents, but it can also bring about concerns and anxieties. At the Old Station Nursery Group, we have been diligently preparing children for every stage of learning, including the transition to school. In this blog, we share additional ideas and suggestions to support your child’s transition at home, ensuring a smooth and positive start to their school journey.

A Positive Start to the School Journey
While it may not be necessary to follow every suggestion mentioned, the key is to remain calm, positive, and excited about the new chapter ahead. At The Old Station Nursery Group, we are dedicated to supporting you and your family throughout the transition process. Our focus on preparing children for school will continue until they are ready to embark on their “big school” journey, ensuring they are excited and well-prepared for this new adventure.
