Transitioning to primary school...this is not enough?

If you have a child starting primary school in September this year, what are the transitional arrangements to ensure your child settles in to the new school?

My child is starting at a school where the majority of children will be coming from the school nursery and there is not much in the way of transition...

We have a 2 hour transition event coming up, when DC visit the school and meet their teacher and peers (without parents). The plan after that is that DC start full time in September.

I thought it was normal for a phased start in September and for teachers to visit children in their preschools?

Our kids just started full time from September. Not even a meet up before hand.
They had trialled half days for younger ones etc but parents work and couldn’t take so much time off. The first year they trialled this it was from Sept to Christmas.
So it stopped.
