Parents are invited to bring their children along with them whilst they look around the setting, we encourage the child to explore the setting and join in with snack if they choose. When a child starts at Apple Trees a key person will already have been allocated to a child ensuring the bond between key child and worker and parents starts immediately. We have acquired knowledge and experience in how to transition children with SEND to their next school.  In the term before a child starts school the primary teacher and class assistant visits the nursery to meet the children and gain a information on each child.  If a child has SEND transition meetings will take place, this will be attended by both settings SENCO and the parents of the child. Where possible the settings SENCO will support parents by visiting possible settings with them before they submit their choice of school.
