Happy Days Nursery Droitwich have had their graduation ceremony!
At Happy Days Nursery, we recognise that starting school is an exciting but sometimes daunting time. However, with some preparation and encouragement, you can help your child to settle into education easily. This is where our exclusive Journey to a Positive Transition to School comes in.
This journey uses a road map to identify when each child has achieved a step towards their school transition. The steps are based on the skills, knowledge, and attitudes that reception teachers highlight are important for a child to have before they start school. Children will be supported to achieve the steps through daily routines, continuous supervision, and the consistent implementation of our Curriculum.
Children will begin the road map in the term before they are due to start school. The child’s Key Person will use the curriculum goals and the Development Matters guidelines to make a professional judgement on whether the child has achieved each step. This is based on their own observations and feedback from parents.
At the end of the 16-week programme, Droitwich held a graduation ceremony to celebrate their achievements and that they are now confident to start school independent, curious and ready to learn.
They sang and signed their favourite songs, drew pictures and spoke about what they want to be when they grow up. Afterwards, delicious cake was enjoyed with their families. We are so proud of their achievements and although they will be missed, wish them luck in school and the future.
