The day starts at 6am when the first child arrives. Breakfast is served between 7 & 7:30 am. The children have the choice of what the want to do before school (free play). While the bigger children are at school the little ones take part in dancing, dressing up and arts and crafts etc. Morning snack is provided about 10am. After snack its story time.
Lunch is about 12pm. This can range from a sandwich to a hot meal with a choice of drinks. After lunch is quiet time when the little children can nap or just cuddle up with their favourite toy. After collecting the older children from school snack is provided again. A structured activity is then provided for all the children to take part in. Dinner is normally about 5:00pm. Dinner is usually a home cooked balanced meal. Although once a month we give the children a choice of what they would like to eat. After dinner its free play time again until the children go home. The above is a rough idea of day to day life, but it can all change at a moments notice if the children's imagination takes us in a different direction. All children within the setting are taught to respect each other and the resources they use on a daily basis. All the children are encouraged to join in with group activities no matter what their ability or stage of development. When ever possible outdoor play is encouraged. |
