Routine
Daily Routine
A daily routine is important, as it provides structure and reassurance to small children. Our routines are designed to be practical enough to cope with the demands of the nursery, and yet flexible enough to provide a happy, relaxed and stimulating environment where you can safely leave your child. Ducklings (babies) follow a routine that suits their natural rhythms, while the daily pattern for all other age groups follows a similar basic structure, but is tailored to their specific needs.

Illness
If your child is unwell please don’t bring them to the nursery, as doing so isn’t fair on your child, our staff, other children, or their parents. In all health matters we follow the guidance provided by Public Health England. If your child cannot attend due to illness a phone call is always appreciated (and essential if they have a communicable disease, so that we may inform other parents).
