‘Every child deserves the best possible start. In life and the support that enables them to fulfil their potential.’
Early years Foundation Stage Framework 2021
At Harwood Hill we realise that starting school is a momentous milestone for children and parents alike. Prior to the children starting, we arrange a number of occasions in which we get to meet the children, to make transition process as easy and smooth as possible. These include: Early Years staff doing home visits, visiting pre-schools/nurseries during the Summer term prior to then children starting, conversations with pre-school/nursery staff, organising times when the children can visit their new setting and a welcome meeting for new parents.
