Rushcombe School

Written by admin on September 27, 2016. Posted in Children's House Information Page

Many of the children who attend with us go on to graduate to Rushcombe 1st School. The school provides opportunities for our children to become familiar with their reception class teachers who spend time with the school leavers in nursery, and we are often invited to Rushcombe events such as their Christmas carol service. We have a dress up box in nursery with the Rushcombe school uniform so our children become familiar with the clothes they will wear at big school.

We are, however, an independent nursery and also have excellent relationships with several of the other local primary schools that our children go on to attend.

Progressing to school:

At Children’s House we spend a lot of time getting our children ready for ‘Big School’. Life-skills such as washing hands, dressing, following instructions, sharing and looking after belongings all contribute to a smooth transition. If you want your child to graduate to Rushcombe the school suggest visiting in the Autumn of the preceding year.

We have a document with some tips for getting your child ready: I’m Ready For School Leaflet
