Our Daily Rhythm

This is the shape of a typical day, routines vary slightly by room and your child's individual needs, especially in the Baby Room where feeds and naps follow your baby.

Arrivals & Welcome
Gentle handovers with key workers. Free play while friends arrive. Any notes from you, a rough night, a new tooth, an upset, passed straight to your child's team.
8:00
Breakfast
Freshly prepared on site: cereals, fruit, toast. For babies still on milk, bottles continue on their own schedule.

Morning Circle
Songs, calendar, hellos, and the day's adventure introduced. In the Baby Room, rhymes and tummy time. In Preschool, phonics and story of the day.

Healthy snack, fruit, crackers, drinks. A social sit-down moment.

Flexibility inside the structure

Routine and Responsiveness

The timetable gives children security. Your child's individual needs override it whenever they should.

Babies lead their day

In the Baby Room, feeds and naps follow your baby, not the clock. The "typical day" above is the older-room pattern.

Children choose the flow

Most blocks are "free-flow", children move between activities based on interest, rather than being herded between stations.

Outdoor unless hazardous

Rain, cold or mild heat, outdoor sessions go ahead. We only stay in for genuine weather hazards.
