Daily Routine

Check out the activities your child will carry take part in a day with us.

Routine is key

It is important to have a daily routine in place as:

Children feel a sense of security and control
Supports initiative
Provides social community
Provides a framework for adults to observe and plan

*Each child is allocated a key worker. This is simply one member of staff who they work closely with.

Childrens Arrival

Children hang up their coats and leave their belongings in the main entrance hall and are greeted by a member of staff at the door.

Greeting Time

During Greeting Time, the staff will complete a roll call and the children will count the number of children present. The group will then discuss what plans are in place for that day, weekly topics, new resources etc.

Planning Time

Children plan where they want to play at work time, with their key worker*, e.g. “I’m going to play at the sand and painting area today.”

Wash hands/jobs

All children wash hands before having their break. Each key worker will organise break jobs for each child, e.g. collecting the cups, knives etc.

Break Time

Children sit in their groups with their key worker for break. All children are encouraged to practice self-help skills, i.e. pouring their own drink, buttering their bread.

Outside Time

Children are free to engage in vigorous and noisy play, challenge their physical capabilities, and experience nature with all of their senses.
