THE RHYTHM OF NURSERY LIFE
Time to discover.
Time to be.
A predictable rhythm helps children feel secure, with flexibility for their interests, energy and individual care needs. This is an example of a nursery day, rather than a fixed timetable for every child.
Come and meet us
- From 7:30am
Arrival and a familiar welcome
A handover with your family, time to settle and a choice of familiar play. Breakfast finishes at 8:30am.

Lunch together
Freshly prepared food, an unhurried social experience and support suited to each child.

More time to explore
Creative play, construction, movement, outdoor learning and time to revisit the day’s discoveries.

Tea
Another opportunity to enjoy food together, practise everyday skills and talk about the day.

Winding down and home time
Familiar play and a personal handover help connect the nursery day with the evening at home.
Your child’s rhythm matters.
Times and experiences can vary. Babies’ feeding, sleep and comfort routines are agreed with families and respond to individual needs throughout the day. Older children also need different amounts of rest and support. We adapt the balance of play, care and group experiences, rather than expecting everyone to do the same thing at once.
Morning sessions run from 7:30am to 1:00pm; afternoon sessions from 1:00pm to 6:30pm. Your child takes part in the experiences within their booked session.
