Transition to Nursery in Ripon: Our Owlets programme

We offer a special Owlets programme to help your child settle into nursery life. This 6-week programme provides a wonderful opportunity for you and your child to attend two-hour sessions together, allowing you to work closely with our practitioners and prepare your child for their time with us. Participating in the programme will have a positive impact on your child's development and learning.

The Owlets programme is offered the half term before your child starts nursery:
  • Summer - ready to start in Autumn 
  • Autumn - ready to start in Spring
  • Spring - ready to start in Summer
