Nursery Phone Call Information Gathering for Reception Teachers

Nursery Phone Call Information Gathering
Useful hints when calling Nursery settings as Reception Teacher to gather information about children.
It is beneficial for reception teachers to call nurseries to gather information about children moving to reception class for several key reasons:
Smooth Transition: Understanding the child’s current routine, learning style, and social interactions helps reception teachers create a smoother transition. This can reduce anxiety for both children and parents.
Individualised Planning: Knowing each child’s strengths, weaknesses, and interests allows reception teachers to tailor their teaching methods and activities to meet individual needs, promoting better engagement and learning outcomes.
Continuity of Care: Gathering information ensures that any support systems or interventions in place at the nursery can be continued in reception. This is particularly important for children with special educational needs or disabilities.
Building Relationships: Early communication helps reception teachers establish a positive relationship with children and parents. It shows that the teacher is proactive and cares about the child’s well-being and development.
Behavioural Insights: Nurseries can provide insights into a child’s behaviour, social skills, and any triggers or challenges they may face. This information helps reception teachers manage classroom dynamics effectively and create a supportive environment.
Parent Collaboration: When parents see that reception teachers are collaborating with nursery staff, it builds trust and encourages ongoing communication between parents and the school, which is crucial for a child’s academic and social development.
Early Intervention: Early identification of any potential issues, such as speech and language delays or behavioural concerns, allows reception teachers to intervene promptly, offering the necessary support and resources to address these challenges.
Overall, this proactive approach fosters a supportive and effective learning environment, ensuring that children can thrive as they transition to reception class.

Amazing
This training was fantastic. Really made me think and reflect on ways to improve. Just brilliantly honest and straight to the point.

Phonics Phase 1 planning
This is great we have printed it out and we use daily for the Nursery children for a short Phonics activity. It has saved me loads of time and is really well thought out and each activity is clearly explained so the staff know what to do. Each time they teach Phonics they are becoming more confident with presenting.
