Our day at preschool:
After children arrive in the morning we will have circle time where we talk, sing and sign about being together, the weather and the days of the week. This structured time supports their routine as well as preparing them for school.
Children then have lots of opportunity for free play both inside and out.
Around 11:30am children are encouraged to work together to tidy up and get together for group time which then leads up to lunch time.
Lunch time is 12pm-1pm.
Lunch is followed by free flow play and then around 2.30pm the children are again encouraged to help tidy ready for singing and story time before home time.
We are so lucky to have some lovely walks close by as well as some wooded areas which are great for exploring. We try to take the children out regularly to provide these additional experiences and opportunities.
The children have weekly ballet lessons. We have use of the hall at Gorseland Primary School where fortnightly we have gymnastics. We also attend Birchwood Primary School for their forest school sessions.
