Nursery Need-to-knows: Room To Room Transitions
In this episode, Alice is joined by Nicola, Nursery Manager at Happy Days Verwood, to explore the importance of smooth transitions between rooms in early years settings. Nicola shares her expertise on how thoughtful transitions support children’s emotional wellbeing, independence, and development.
They discuss how Happy Days Nurseries approach room-to-room transitions with care and structure, how staff support children who are more anxious or shy, and the signs practitioners look out for when deciding if a child is ready for change. Nicola also highlights the vital role of the key person in making every step of the journey feel secure and positive for both children and their families.
