I'd keep them in the pots until new foliage begins to emerge in late fall. I've
moved many Cyclamen coum when they are in flower, and as long as you replant
immediate after lifting, they don't turn a hair.

Be sure the pots don't go bone dry in summer. Cyclamen have very penetrating
roots and even during summer dormancy, these are imbibing soil moisture to keep
the corms (tubers?) firm and healthy. The inevitable disturbance of roots
that's associate with decanting and planting out potted seedlings is more
easily recovered from during a period of active growth.

You might want to pot on the entire soil mass into a larger pot; the greater
the soil volume, the easier it is to keep a pot's contents from drying out.
