Moving Rooms at Nursery: What Parents Should Know

How nurseries manage transitions between baby, toddler and pre-school rooms and what parents should ask.

โ† All Early Years guides

As children grow, they may move between rooms or groups. Settings use different systems depending on their size and age ranges.

Ask how transitions work

Find out when children usually move, whether they visit the new room beforehand and how key-person relationships are handled.

A good transition should give children time to become familiar with new adults, routines and spaces.
