ACTION
The Village Nursery in the Trafford Park area of Manchester is one of six run by the family-owned The Village Nursery Group.
The setting has 131 places for children from birth to five, and is rated "outstanding" by Ofsted, which has identified it as an example of good practice in ensuring a smooth transition to school.
This is something staff think about and plan for very carefully, explains Claire Oxley, assistant manager and lead on school transitions.
The nursery ensures it knows which school each child will be going to. Children post letters or drawings to their new nursery school or reception teacher and teachers are invited to come and meet them.
