Generally children are moved on after they reach the suited age. However, in some cases observations and tracking may inform us that a child is not ready to move up or in some cases a child may need to move up earlier to build on the child’s accelerated development. In these cases staff will work together with parents to ensure a plan is put in place to assist each child in their individual development needs.
