Daily Routine
Every day in Nursery is a new adventure. The range of daily activities from our qualified and specialist staff ranges from whole group learning all the way down to one-to-one activities. The table below captures an overview of a daily timetable. Parents are given regular updates on their child’s specific learning and achievements via Tapestry. Routine and structure are essential in a child’s life and we follow a daily timetable to ensure that your child’s routine is consistent.
