Nursery World - Transition test

Evaluate your transition arrangements for children in the Foundation Stage by asking yourself these ten questions: 1 .Do children have consistency? Practitioners can work to maintain core features through the Foundation Stage. For example, time can be managed in reception classes along the same lines as in nurseries. Children's learning is not helped if fixed playtimes and assemblies constantly interrupt it.

2 .Is learning through play supported in all settings, as recommended in the Early Learning Goals?

3 .Have staff from all local settings within the Foundation Stage met to talk about planning within the new curriculum framework?

4 .Are records passed on from one provider to the next? If so, does the receiving practitioner spend time reading the records and take account of them in planning?
