Children engage in a variety of group activities; for example, junk modelling to construct a robot, Footytotz, or Kidslingo Spanish sessions.

10am – 10.30am - Rolling snack time:
A healthy snack of fruit and raw vegetables is offered at snack time, along with a drink of milk or alternatives.

Snack time is a lovely time for practitioners to have a ‘catch-up’ with the children and to discuss things that have been happening at home.

They are able to develop their gross motor skills outdoors, swinging and climbing on the outdoor equipment.

The children sit together and enjoy story time.
The nursery practitioners really bring the story alive with props and puppets.
Children are encouraged to think of their own ending to the story and continue the story by acting it out in the role play area.
11.45am - Lunchtime:
The children enjoy a two course, nutritionally balanced cooked lunch. All dietary requirements are catered for, as are the stages of weaning.
Learn more about our meals and weaning.

The younger children have a nap on rest mats.
The older children who do not nap have a quiet time listening to relaxing music whilst sitting on the comfy cushions.

The children engage in a variety of activities on offer.
This may include early writing activities such as finger painting or going on a bug hunt, using a key to identify what they find.
