Plan for children starting school in September

Just wondering whether any Reception class teachers have been told a plan for children who are due to start school in September (COVID permitting).
My little boy is due to start and I know teachers usually do home visits, nursery visits and children have visits to the school. Do you think any of these will go ahead and, if not, how do you think information will be gathered about the children and how will they be eased into school life?
Before anyone jumps on me, I know this is all pure speculation and we need to wait for a plan, I just wondered if any schools had any semblance of a plan at the moment.

We are going to do some videos to send out and have sent out a book with more photos of the classroom than we usually would.

I really hope they go back to pre school first even if it's just a week or two and the transition can be managed from that setting. However that looks
