When we feel your child is ready to move onto the next stage of development and therefore begin the transition from one room to another within the Nursery, the practitioners from your child’s current room will begin to discuss the transition with you.
The practitioners in your child’s current room will complete a Transition Form which details the planned transition and relevant information which is needed to be passed onto the practitioners in your child’s new room. This form will be shared with you and you will be given the opportunity to add your comments; alongside this you will also be asked to complete an All About Me Form, which details specific information about your child.
Several visits to the next room will be organised and you will be kept informed of when these sessions will be. Settling in visit sheets will be completed to document how your child is adapting to these visits. These will be shared with you following each visit.
You will be introduced to your child’s new Key Person and the other practitioners in the room.
You are invited to ask any questions, maybe about the room, routine or concerns you may have.
To begin with, these visits will only be for a period between 1-2 hours, they will build up to a session and then a full day when appropriate.
Your child’s existing Key Person will accompany your child during these early settling in visits.

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.
