What do the children do during a nursery session?

The time spent in the nursery your child will have access to a wide range of experiences and activities both indoors and out. They will engage in a variety of play activities some of which are child initiated and some of which will be adult focused.

All activities and experiences are carefully planned by staff following the children’s interests and stages of development. Outdoor play plays an equal role in all the learning opportunities planned by staff. Your child will participate in a daily snack time and small group activities such as story time and singing.

Here is a small selection of the activities available in the Nursery

Suitable clothing

Because of all the many activities on offer in the Nursery it can be a messy place. Please ensure that your child does not wear clothes that can be spoilt by paint, glue or mud among other things!! As your child will spend time outdoors please ensure that you protect them from the weather by providing coat/boots/sunhats as appropriate.

If your child needs to be changed for any reason, please wash and return the nursery’s clothes as soon as possible.
