A daily routine gives children a sense of security. This is why we ensure each day is properly structured while leaving enough time for spontaneous activities.
The nursery operates a free flow system. The activities are planned and the children can decide if they would like to be inside or out.
Snacks and Lunch
Healthy snacks are provided each day, and children are encouraged to be involved in creating these, for example by growing their own vegetables or helping to prepare soup.
Water is freely available. Children are encouraged to sit together to eat their packed lunches.
Below is an example of a typical day at nursery:
