A normal Nursery looks like this:
| A TYPICAL DAY | |
|---|---|
| 7.30am | Breakfast Club for those who opt in to this additional service. |
| 8.00am | Nursery opens and children start to arrive. |
| 8.00am-10.00am | Morning activities including a range of indoor and outdoor provision, with continual free-flow access. Small groups may participate in circle time, or adult led activities, or come together for Phonics, music, rhymes and number play. |
| 10.00am | Morning snack, normally fruit, rice cakes, cheese straws or similar. The children all drink plenty of water, or milk, with their snacks, and are encouraged to drink regularly throughout the day. |
| 10.30am | Activities continue, indoors and out, whatever the weather! |
| 12.00 noon | Lunchtime. Every child, and all the staff, eat together, in a ‘family meal-time’ style. The menu changes often and is published on our website, and all dietary requirements can be catered for. |
| 12.30pm | After lunch, many children sleep in our beautiful sleep space. This room, complete with twinkly fairy lights and relaxing music, is the perfect place to ensure your child gets high-quality sleep during their Nursery day. We work to your routine, following any guidelines you wish, with regard to routines and sleep patterns. For those who do not nap, the activities downstairs continue, with a host of opportunities for messy play, exploration, art and craft, and construction, regularly replenished throughout the day. |
| 2.00pm | Afternoon snack, which is normally crumpets, humous and vegetables, muffins or similar items. During the afternoon, all the children go out for a walk for at least thirty minutes, around our beautiful grounds. They may visit the kitchen to do some cookery, use equipment in the garden to build an obstacle course, or put on a puppet show in our yurt. |
| 4.30pm | Supper is served in the dining room, in the same style as lunch. |
| 5.00pm | The children return to the Nursery to tidy up, clear away in the garden and prepare for collection. |
| 6.00pm | Nursery closes for the day Drop off and collection times are entirely flexible, so that you can arrange to fit around your commitments, but the session charges are fixed. |
