Our Day

Our session begins with registration and circle time, the children are then encouraged to choose an activity of their own interest, which could be inside or even outside.

Some activities are planned, and based on interests that individual children have shown, other activities are led by an adult to develop specific areas of learning. The rooms are organised so that the children have easy and independent access to equipment that will interest them and develop their learning.

We have snack time in morning and the afternoon. The children sit in small groups and are supervised by a member of the team. We use snack time to encourage children to share their likes and dislikes. It is also an opportunity to support the children in their understanding of healthy eating and trying different tastes.

There is a charge for snacks, or you can opt to send your child with a healthy, prepared fruit snack. We do provide guidance. Please see information on our admissions page on funding and fees.

The session ends with children returning to their registration groups for songs, stories and rhymes.

We share our weekly fun and plan for the week ahead with parents via our Newsletter which is sent out at the end of the week via the Famly Newsfeed. You can see a sample newsletter by clicking on the Newsletter button.

Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)

The Early Years Foundation Stage provides us with a statutory framework that guides us on the level of care and education we provide. We have to meet all the welfare requirements and have had to prove this to Ofsted prior to being registered.

The Framework has four principles that support us in getting to know and understand your child. It supports us in being able to plan and deliver activities that will develop skills and interests dependent on their age and stage of development. At the heart of the EYFS is the belief that all children are individuals and all children are learners from birth. It also promotes your position as parents as being the foremost educators in your child’s life. We aim to actively seek your partnership in the care and education of your child.
