How do you explain any foreseeable changes to the childs environment clearly and honestly, providing reassurance, explanations and comfort for any unforseen changes?
Not sure how to explain it, please help!

Is it with transitions? Could you take photos of the new environment and make a book together. Talk about same/different (coat pegs, toilets etc) Invite a new teacher to meet the child and ask her to bring a toy from the new environment, explaining that he can play with it again in the new place. Talk about what he's looking forward to/worried about etc. Read books about going to school, talk about uniform. Any of that any help?

I feel it is more to do with a break from the normal day! ie a Reflective Account of when a visitor came to the setting and you had to explain who they were and why they were coming. how you introduced them to the children so that they were not frightened of a stranger being there etc
