Timetable
Our timetable is arranged to allow children to make individual choices and also to work together in groups, enjoying teacher-directed activities. During a typical nursery session children have the opportunity to make choices from a wide variety of different experiences including exploratory play, sand and water play, mathematics and language games and equipment, dough and baking, drawing and writing, books, construction, soft play, computers, imaginative role play, creative and sensory experiences.

Later in the session children share a family group time when they eat a snack together, and enjoy focus activities as a small group.

Outdoor play is an essential part of the children's learning and is usually offered to all children on a daily basis. Over the course of each term, children have the opportunity to particpate in large and small group activities to enjoy dance, P.E., music, circle games, story sesions and drama.

Topic work is planned termly and the planning is displayed on the Parents’ notice board. Children’s progress is monitored throughout the term and samples of their work are kept for their Record Books. Parents’ evenings are held termly, but the nursery’s open door policy means that staff are always available to talk to parents.
