Perhaps post in staffroom? That's where teachers mostly hang out...
We had a great teacher for reception, then the new head 'mixed things up' - well, when the Y6 teacher left, a new teacher was hired who was a EY specialist. So the long-standing reception teacher was moved (to Y2 in this case).
She taught Y2 for two years and then left to a different school where she could be head of EY...
From a parent's perspective, and maybe particularly the perspective of an August baby parent, I would encourage you to keep in mind that some of your Y1 kids will be the same age upon starting Y1 as some of your reception kids where on starting reception. Just 5. Accordingly, they will benefit from all the things you (presumably) did well in reception.
The 'best' school I visited when choosing schools had Y1 set up very, very similarly to YR. Even in Y2 they still incorporated many of the successful elements from EY. It had a recent OFSTED outstanding and, if you consider staff retention as an indicator, very happy teachers. (Sadly it was just a little too far for us).
I would really like an EY specialist in Y1, provided they kept teaching to their strengths and resisted pressure to become all 'formal learning and worksheets'.
So I wish you the best of luck!
