Starting school is a big step for both you and your child. We, at Riddings Infant and Nursery School do our very best to ensure that when your child starts school it is a happy and memorable experience.
Our Reception staff spend time in our nursery getting to know the children before they start school and they also visit other settings to meet children before they start with us.
We offer two transition visits to school which give you as parents and your child a taste of what to expect when your child starts school.
