A Typical Day
Children playing
Baby playing in and eating jelly
Describing a typical day is tricky as we will always build the day around your child’s particular needs in terms of rest periods, sleep, toileting, drinking and so on. However, we find that the daily routine outlined below provides structure and familiarity whilst having sufficient flexibility to be adapted to the individual needs of your child, the curriculum and the weather!
The promotion of your child’s all round development – physical, intellectual, social and emotional – is our primary concern. We work from nationally recognised developmental guidelines recommended by OFSTED so you can be sure that right from his or her very first day, your child will be involved in experiences promoting the vital skills needed for moving on to school.
