A Typical Day at Nursery
Session Registration.
Upon arrival at nursery, each child's attendance is recorded on the register at the main entrance.
These registers are then passed to the play rooms to monitor and update throughout the nursery day to ensure we maintain accurate numbers and are able to stay within the required staff to child ratios.
Play Sessions
There are currently four areas within the Church for the children to use. These are set up ready for the play sessions prior to the children's arrival.
The practitioners will work with you to provide as smooth a transition from home to nursery as possible.
The children are based in the large hall which is split into two areas; one for the under threes with the over threes in the other. More structured activities also take place at other times throughout the day for those children approaching the transition to mainstream school.
The children are free to move around their play areas, both inside and out, choosing from the range of activities provided.
Snack Time
A 'free-flowing' snack is available between 9.20 and 10.00am that the children may access when they wish.
A selection of fresh fruits & vegetables, together with a themed snack are available when appropriate.
Lunch Time
All children attending nursery during the morning session will sit down for lunch at about 11.50am.
After lunch, those children staying for the afternoon continue to play, while those going home will get ready for collection.
The children arriving for the afternoon session (at 12.30pm) will go straight into the play rooms. They will be marked on the register upon arrival.
Afternoon Session
The afternoon session follows much the same structure as the morning although there is no snack time. If your child would like a drink in the afternoon we provide water throughout the day or they can have something from their lunchbox.
The full range of activities is still on offer - again with the option to go outside, weather permitting.
Home Time
Please remember to contact us if you are unable to get here on time, firstly because the the chidlren can get quite anxious if you are expected and aren't here and also because we are not insured to have children on the premises beyond 3.45pm. If this occurs and we have been unable to contact anyone we are obliged to contact social care in accordance with our safeguarding responsibilities.
