Transition from 2’s Group – Ante Pre School
Children at 2’s group follow the Aberdeenshire school academic year. If your child is moving on to a funded Ante Pre School setting they are welcome to stay on at Woodside 2’s group until their funded place begins. Children not moving on to an Ante Pre School setting will be asked to give up their 2’s group place when they would have been expected to start at Ante Pre School in order to let new 2’s group children begin.
