A typical day
Encouraging independence. Supporting development.
We plan each day based on a core pattern around which activities are tailored to the needs and interests of each individual child. A familiar rhythm to the day contributes to a secure environment for the children while enabling every child to develop at a pace that is suitable for them.
We’re also able to provide full day wraparound care for your child(ren).
EARLY DROP-OFF 8.45am-9.00AM
Being based on the site of St. Laurence CE School, who start at 8.40am, we offer the opportunity to drop your child off at preschool at 8.45am each morning.
Morning Session 9.00AM-11.30am
Preschool starts at 9.00am with the hustle and bustle of arrivals, where our experienced staff settle the children into the setting. This is an important time for parent-staff communication and we are more than happy for parents/carers to stay and play with their children during this period.
Staff ensure they know each child in their care and encourage them to join in or select an activity or area of play that they particularly enjoy.
Snack time
At 10.00am we set up an area for snack time and the children come on a rolling basis to have a drink and a healthy snack.
Story time
At 11.10am the children come together into small groups for stories, music and movement. This takes the session up to lunch time at 11.30am.
Lunchtime 11.30am-12.30pm
Lunchtime lasts for 1 hour. We understand how important it is to eat in family groupings, talking about our meal, and making it a relaxing and enjoyable time for everyone. The team eats with the children where possible.
Parents often comment on how well their child eats when sitting alongside their friends!
Children can bring a cold packed lunch or use food flask to have hot food in.
Afternoon Session 12.30-3.00pm
The afternoon session begins with a relaxed period when parents are again welcome to stay and play with their child or talk with the team.
Snack time
At 2.00pm the children share in a healthy snack.
Story time
At 2.45pm the children sit together for stories and songs.
