Nursery and Reception Transition
Hillingdon Primary School Nursery Transition
Beginning of July: Nursery open day – an opportunity for all parents and pupils starting in the nursery in September, to visit the nursery and meet the nursery staff.
September: Hillingdon Primary School staff visit children’s homes to meet children and parents prior to starting: We try to visit all new children and parents in their homes, so that we can get to know them better and find out information about their learning and development.
September: We operate a staggered start for Nursery Children, so that children have the chance to start in small groups. Further details about your child’s start date will be given to you at the home visits. All parents will be able to come into the nursery to ensure their child is settled in and also ask staff any questions.
Part-time pupils will attend the nursery for morning sessions (8.45am – 11.45am) or afternoon sessions (12.15pm – 3.15pm).
Full-time pupils will attend the nursery from 9am – 3pm. A half an hour lunchtime is included in this session.
