A day at our pre-school

Children arrive at the main entrance, hang coats and store lunchboxes independently in the foyer, say goodbye to parents, then place water bottles, wash hands, and enjoy breakfast together.

Children freely choose activities, exploring well-planned areas that spark curiosity and creativity. Skilled staff support interests, extend learning, and encourage independence, helping each child develop confidence, social skills, and a love of learning.

We provide breakfast of toast and fruit. Children bring their own lunches. Morning and afternoon fruit snacks are offered daily, with occasional treats, encouraging healthy eating habits and social mealtime experiences.

Children enjoy daily outdoor learning in our secure garden, exploring nature, developing physical skills, and engaging with sensory equipment, water play, and imaginative activities that inspire curiosity, confidence, and wellbeing.

Children who need a nap are offered rest after lunch. We work closely with parents to follow individual routines, with children sleeping comfortably in our calm, cosy “lovely room” environment.

We share regular updates throughout the day via our dedicated WhatsApp group, including photos and activities. Staff also provide feedback at pickup, keeping parents informed and connected to their child’s experiences.

Children are safely collected by known and authorised adults only. Staff ensure a secure handover, sharing key information about the child’s day and supporting a smooth, positive end to their session.
