hali Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Hello all haopy valentines day and happy birthday! Has anyone recently done a transitions policy that i could look at, found a few older posts about them...Linda were you doing one???? Thanks
Guest Wolfie Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 I've just written one of my EYPS tasks all about transitions but haven't developed a formal policy yet - there's some good stuff on the EYFS Principles into Practice cards that you could include - the bit about the Wider Context, I think.
Guest Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Hi Hali Yes I did write a very simple policy and I am so sorry I didn't post it on here as I said I would! Old age is my excuse!! I am attaching it for you now. If anybody has any ideas how this can be improved upon feel free to let us know. Linda Transition_policy.doc
HappyMaz Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 (edited) Linda: Have downloaded your policy to read properly later but firstly can I say I love the logo and secondly, what's the transition toolkit? I don't have a transition policy. Do I need one? Must I have one? Thanks for sharing yours, Linda! Maz Edited February 14, 2008 by HappyMaz
Guest Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Hi Maz The transition toolkit, also known as Following the Footsteps, is Stockports transition document that they want all settings to use when children transfer to school. It has only been used since last year really and we are still trying to get our heads round it at pre-school. I don't know that you must have a transition policy-I suppose it's like many others, you have to ask the question is it really necessary? We had to have one in place for our QA award, which was again Stockports own. I suppose though like most policies it makes you think about your practice and ensures all staff know what they should be doing. Glad you like the logo-I just did a Google search for children and that was one I found. Linda

HappyMaz Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Welcome from me too, Carole You're only the second person I've met (well, virtually!) who spells her name with an 'e' on the end! Enjoy the Forum. Maz
Guest Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Does anybody have a Transition policy from Private day Nursery to School that I can have a look at or any websites which might help me get my brain in gear. Please help I just can't seem to get my brain in gear today.

Shiny Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Hello SharonDM and welcome to the forum!! Well done for making you first post.
HappyMaz Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Welcome to the Forum, Sharon One thing we've had to deal with is the effect of children when their friends leave the setting - perhaps that might be worth a mention too! Maz

Beau Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Oh the power of a moderator! I know - it makes me feel quite important until my children remind me where my actual place in the world is.
