Getting children ready for reception

This strong practice document supports schools and early years settings (including PVI providers and childminders) to strengthen their approach to transition into reception.

It is intended to help all educators involved in children’s early education reflect on how they plan for, deliver and sustain high-quality transition arrangements that meet the needs of every child and family.

The document brings together practical insights from schools that are focused on getting transition right for children, families, feeder settings and the school.
