Little Wonders Transition Program

Big support for little learners.

Starting school is a big milestone — and at Tenison Woods, we make sure it’s a smooth and joyful one.

Our Little Wonders Transition Program supports children to settle in gradually, safely and confidently. It gives them the chance to build confidence, make friends, and become familiar with their new environment before starting Reception.

The program runs one day per week over multiple weeks in Term 2 or Term 4 (depending on your child’s intake) and is carefully designed to support each child’s unique journey into school life.

Parents are also invited to connect with each other and with staff, helping to build strong relationships from the very beginning.
