Positives • Some schools have unexpectedly noticed that the children have settled in better than expected with limited transition support. • Consistent support staff has helped to settle the children and get to know the children quicker. • Decluttering classrooms has created inviting learning environments. Challenges • Unsure what is COVID safe

Ensuring Early Intervention of Reception Children • SENDCo network meeting – Feb 2020 • Make links with nurseries as early as possible. Work together to access support and funding whilst the child is still at nursery. • SENCOs made a EYFS checklist for Reception teachers to use during their conversations with nurseries and parents.
