Each half term we focus our work around a theme that the children help to decide. In the last year our topics have included: Bugs, Pirates and Fairies and Heroes.
While our days are full of variety they do have a routine. An average day looks something like this:
Nursery Sessions
-
Children arrive, settle in and sit for circle time beginning with our welcome song followed by a simple staff led discussion/activity.
-
​Freeplay during which snack café is open encouraging the children to take turns enjoying their snack brought in from home.
-
Tidy up
-
Outdoor freeplay in the garden
-
Circle time singing and/or story
-
Home time - some children leave for the day while others stay or start. Those children staying or joining have lunch.
