Hi,
I work in a L.A maintained nursery so we operate a little different to the PVI sectors. Our home visits are offered the first week of term when the nursery is quite and before the child is due to start. Our transition sessions will run from the second week of term, before the child's provisional start date. As for funding etc i really can't comment on that as the schools burser and nursery teacher may attend to that.
This is our first transition programme for the nursery - following the footsteps of a sucessful transition programme into year R for many years!! We using the opportunity to also engage parents and promote the importance of speech, langauge and communication (a good link to the ECaT programme we are involved in).
It is also the first time of offering 15 hours of flexi educare - up until the holidays we offerd 12.5 hours. Big changes and a learning curve lies ahead! Watch this space!!!!!
Hope this helps,
allie:)
