DAY IN THE LIFE
Day in the Life
Drop Off
Our doors open from 07:30, where you and your little one will be greeted by a member of our friendly team who will strive to ensure that the transition from home to nursery is a smooth and happy one. Wave ‘see you soon!’ to your child in the knowledge that they will be safe, well cared for and having endless amounts of fun as they settle in for the day ahead.
Breakfast
Our children start their day off correctly with a healthy range of options to choose from, such as cereals, fruit and toast for breakfast. For weaning babies at all mealtimes, a specially curated weaning menu is prepared by our trained chef and can be mashed, chopped or pureed depending on your child's individual needs.
Morning
Fuelled with a yummy breakfast, children enjoy a range of enrichment activities, adult-led learning linked to focus topics and child-led play experiences. From loose parts exploration and sensory activities to creative arts, imaginative role play and cosy reading corners, there is truly something for every child to enjoy. Outdoor play also forms an important part of the morning, allowing children to build confidence, develop physical skills and explore through active play. A healthy snack is available in the mid-morning to keep everyone energised.
Lunch
From 11:30, we enjoy lunch, freshly prepared by our on-site chef. Mealtimes provide a wonderful opportunity to socialise with friends, develop independence and explore a variety of flavours and textures. Our seasonal menus offer plenty of choice and are carefully adapted to accommodate individual dietary requirements and preferences.
Nap Time
Following lunch, our younger children can enjoy a well-earned nap or quiet time. For our little sleepers, we create a calm and comforting atmosphere using soft lighting, soothing music and cosy bedding to support rest and relaxation. Children who are not sleeping can enjoy quiet indoor activities, stories and gentle play, helping to create a peaceful transition into the afternoon.
Afternoon
Children continue their learning journey through a balance of indoor and outdoor experiences that encourage curiosity, creativity and independence. Whether exploring open-ended resources, engaging in imaginative play or enjoying active time outdoors, every afternoon offers opportunities for discovery and development.
Snack
To keep little ones fuelled and ready for all the awe and wonder their days hold, we offer a healthy mid-afternoon snack, including fresh fruit and vegetables alongside other nutritious options. From 16:00, our children enjoy a delicious evening meal before settling into a relaxed period of child-led play, giving them time to unwind and enjoy activities of their own choosing.
Home
As the day draws to a close, children enjoy relaxed play with their friends before being collected throughout the evening. Families are kept up to date through Satchel during the day, and at collection time your child's key person will share highlights of their learning, achievements and wellbeing, along with any important information. Nursery closes at 18:30, when we wave our final goodbyes and wish everyone a safe journey home.
This is just an example day that the nursery follows, each day is subject to variation depending on activities and the needs of the children.
FAQs
FAQs
What are the designated parking and access arrangements for drop-off and pick-up at your nursery?
Our parents use a one-way system that leads to the back of the building where there is space to park and drop off your child safely.
What is the unique feel or ethos of your nursery team?
We pride ourselves on being a home from home. Joining our nursery means joining our family. We want the transition from your home to ours to feel as natural as possible from your very first viewing.
How do the settling in sessions at your nursery work?
We typically offer three sessions to help your child feel at ease. The first session lasts one hour with parents there to go over paperwork and talk about routines, likes, and allergies. A one-hour session follows where the child stays on their own, ending with a final two-hour session to help gradually build their confidence and familiarity with their new environment.
How often do the children get to play outside at your nursery?
We're passionate about outdoor play and learning and ensure our children are outside as much as possible regardless of the weather.
How does your nursery engage with families and build a strong community?
We host plenty of events throughout the year to stay connected with our families. These include Christmas carols, graduation parties, and seasonal stay and play sessions. We also enjoy getting everyone together for community events like our Macmillan coffee mornings.
