The children arrive at Pre School from 8:55am ready to start our day at 9am.

They will hang up their belongings and then join their teachers for Registration.

We believe in providing an environment which encourages choice. Resources are set out for the children to explore either independently or with an adult.

During this time we also have table led activities in which we offer a range of learning experiences through adult directed learning.

Alongside our ‘Topic of the month’ we will sit together as a group to practice letters, sounds, numbers and related songs and stories to meet desired learning outcomes in relation to our curriculum and the EYFS.

Our snack follows NHS guidelines and portion control to provide fresh fruit or vegetable, alongside a dry side and cup of milk or water.

We use this opportunity to come together in our key groups to reflect on our morning so far.

We do occasionally have ‘treat’ snack surrounding birthdays or occasions,

Outdoor learning is a huge part of our ethos at Pre-School, children are encouraged to take part in planting, our mud kitchen and discovery trays.

We are very lucky to have a large, partially covered garden meaning we explore the outdoors whatever the weather.

Following garden time, we wash our hands, independently get our lunch boxes and water bottles before finding a place to sit at the lunch table to eat with our friends!

Lunch is a social time where we all come together.

Morning Session children will go home at 12pm.

Lunch club children will go home at 1pm.

After we tidy up we have the opportunity to go outside again.

We may use this time as an opportunity to explore our wonderful community, having so many unique learning opportunities on our doorstep, including the library, shops, park and wonder walks around the community.

We have been busy little learners all day and with this in mind we like to sit down at the end of the day together and reflect.

We are required to vacate the Memorial Hall by 3pm Monday-Friday, the children will be ready for collection at 2:55pm.
