Moving into Reception – A Seamless Journey in Our EYFS Unit 

As the academic year progresses, one of the most exciting milestones for our children is the move from Nursery into Reception. At many settings, this can be a big change—but here in our EYFS unit, it’s a smooth and natural transition, and we absolutely love that!

Because we work as a unit, our children are already familiar with the environment, staff, routines, and expectations. There’s no “big leap” to worry about—just steady, confident steps forward in a space that already feels like home.

Children moving into Reception continue to learn and grow alongside familiar faces, supported by practitioners who know them well. Relationships have been built, trust is already established, and the continuity means children can hit the ground running—ready to take on new challenges and experiences with excitement, not anxiety.

We’re already seeing how this seamless move is supporting children’s wellbeing and learning. They are settled, engaged, and thriving. Their confidence shines through in how they approach new activities, take on more responsibility, and build on the strong foundations laid in Nursery.

It’s such a joy to witness this next stage of their journey unfold with such ease. We’re incredibly pleased and grateful that our unit approach gives them the best possible start.

Here’s to a fantastic year ahead in Reception!
