Our doors open at 8:30 am and as the children arrive they're encouraged to put their lunchbox and drinks bottle in their basket and hang their coat on their peg. They can then choose an activity to play with.

Once all the children have arrived, we do our “Hello Circle” where we sing hello to each child using Makaton. All children are encouraged and supported to take part in their own time.

The doors are opened and the children can choose to play in or outdoors. Outdoor activities contribute to children’s health, physical development and their knowledge of the world around them. We have waterproof trousers for wet weather and aprons for messy activities.

At 10:15 am we have our morning snack all together. The children are encouraged to wash their hands and choose a healthy snack from their lunchboxes.

The team help and encourage the children to take part in both small and large, adult led group activities. This introduces the children to new experiences and helps them to gain new skills, as well as encouraging them to work with others. 

At 11:30 am we all help to tidy up and then play a group game or enjoy some music and movement together. 

At 12:00 pm we have our lunch. Snack and meal times are a social time at which children and adults eat together. After lunch we have story time (stories are also read with the children throughout the session when they choose to). 1:00 pm is home time for some of the children and free flow continues for the children staying on.

2:35 pm is tidy up time ready for an afternoon snack. The children are encouraged to get their own belongings ready. 4:00 pm is home time for everybody.
