We now offer a breakfast club from 8 am. Children will be offered a selection of cereal, toast and a drink. This facility will be charged at £1.50. Breakfast club is run by members of our nursery staff.
Lunch: 11.45 to 12.30
Children are able to stay for their lunch at nursery at a cost of £3.00. We employ two lunchtime supervisors, Janine Darville and Suzan Beston, who support the children across the lunchtime period, alongside members of our nursery staff. As we do not have the facilities to offer cooked meals or heat food, all children are required to bring a packed lunch. Please see our Packed lunch policy for information on healthy packed lunches.
Daily Routines
Children arrive at nursery and are taken to their group rooms where they will be met by their key person. After meet and greet time the children will take part in a short session of focused teaching where they will take part in a range of activities covering all areas of learning. After this time the children have free play in the indoor and outdoor environment, snack and then a story. The children will be collected from their group rooms after story time.
Your child’s time with their key worker at the beginning of the session is very important for their learning and development. Please ensure that your children arrive at nursery on time. We also ask that you arrive on time to collect your child. If you are unexpectedly delayed please contact the Nursery and inform a member of staff.
