Room transition

  • Transition Information

    Our aims for all children’s transition periods
  • We support mothers, fathers and carers of children who are, new to the setting, moving rooms within the setting or are due to start school soon. 
  • There are four bases within Osborne House Community Nursery:
    • Little Monkeys: 3 months – 16 months (approx.)
    • Honey Bears: 16 months (approx.) – 2 years
    • Little Stars: 2 – 3 years
    • Big Noahs: 3 – 5 years
  • Creating a positive experience

    At Osborne House Community Nursery we put children’s needs first. We believe that transitions into Nursery are extremely important to each child and their family as they begin and continue to advance throughout the setting.

  • Supporting parents & caregivers through the process

    Please find our Transition Document below, which clearly explains how children are introduced to the Nursery and how partnership with parents is encouraged throughout this process.

  • Forging confidence & long lasting bonds

    Children to be confident and enthusiastic throughout any transition period.

    Building new relationships with their peers and practitioners.

    Children in becoming familiar with a new environment and new routines.

    • Staff at Osborne House are approachable, open and friendly. Most importantly they have formed a great relationship with our daughter too. Crucially, during the recent difficult circumstances of the pandemic, we have been well informed and kept up to date with safeguarding and rollout of health and safety practices. Would happily recommend it without any doubt.

    • Having had a baby during the pandemic we were left in the situation of trying to pick a nursery without being able to tour any. From the outset the communications with Osborne House Community Nursery have been reassuring, informative and friendly.

    • Our boys always come home from nursery seeming really happy and chatty after a fun filled day! The staff are so lovely and they use the Tapestry App so we get to see great photos and descriptions of their development and what they get up to. We chose Osborne House because it’s smaller than some other nurseries and we got a lovely feel about the place when we initially looked round.
