strength to strength, and this has been
particularly beneficial in supporting the
transition of our children from our
setting to school nursery through face-
to-face transition opportunities.
The childcare offer has been very

sessions in the morning before having
their lunch (supervised by the school)

afternoon. School staff supervise the
children’s transition from one space to
the other.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
