What is a typical day like?
The Nursery day and activities are designed to give all babies and children children the best possible opportunities to promote their learning, wellbeing and development. The guiding principle is learning through play, and all our activities are planned to meet government-led initiatives in order to reflect the best possible practices in childcare.
The following schedule is an example of a typical day at the nursery. Some activities, such as mealtimes, follow the routine regularly, but we like to allow flexibility in other parts of the routine so that we may respond to events happening around us.
