PEEP Tranisition Project

In line with the recommendation to link access to extra nursery places with parenting programmes from the Boston Consulting Group's work on social mobility for us in 2010, The Sutton Trust has begun funding the pilot PEEP Transition Project.  

It aims to help prepare parents, carers and children for the transition from home to pre-school, particularly targetting those who lack confidence and understanding of how they can help with their children's learning, feel alienated from the education system and experience social isolation and/ or speak English as an additional language.

Through various sessions, including a home visit, group sessions to the pre-school setting and a settling-in session on the child's first day, it is hoped that not only will the children feel more supported, but the confidence and ability of parents to help and value their child's learning and development will be improved.  Furthermore, parents will be able to identify their own learning needs and potential pathways.
