A day in the life of a child in Nursery 3…
Our morning begins from 7.30am when we welcome children to the Nursery, followed by Meet and Greet, registration and free play. Then it’s time for fun activities which include French Games on Mondays, group time and free play on Tuesdays, Jumping Beanbag on Wednesdays, and free flow including mark making and malleable activities on Thursdays and Fridays.
By mid morning it’s time for a healthy snack before activities resume. On Mondays it’s Expressive Arts from 10.20am-11.20am, followed by free flow including mark making and malleable activities. On Tuesdays we enjoy PE from 10am-10.20am, followed by free play and outdoor activities. On Wednesdays it’s Story Time followed by Forest Play, and on Thursdays and Fridays we enjoy Swimming from 9.20am-10.40am, followed by free flow, free play and outdoor activities.
At 11.45am everything stops for a delicious and nutritious lunch.
Our afternoon begins with either sleep time or quiet activities. Then it’s time for outside play on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, and cooking on Wednesdays. Then we enjoy free flow play on Mondays and Fridays, group activities on Tuesdays, outside play on Wednesdays, and group and free flow activities on Thursdays.
Then there’s just enough time for a well earned healthy mid afternoon snack before story time. And for children staying after school, there’s more fun to be had with indoor and outdoor activities. We provide a tasty tea and you can collect anytime up until 5.45pm.
