Every day at the nursery
is different but a typical day would include some of the activities
below. |
Babies
We welcome the babies as they arrive at the nursery and let
them play together. We all join in with music and singing. While
some of the babies begin their morning sleep, we give the others
time to play and try out creative activities. We interact with
the babies as they use floor toys and baby equipment such as
rattles, board books and baby gyms. We feed babies throughout
the day, according to their individual needs. After lunch is
quiet time when we encourage the babies to use play mats or
read with them. |

have their afternoon sleep, we continue to play and interact
with the others. A chance for creative play as we all explore
new experiences such as jelly play, painting and early printing.
We continue to play together as mums and dads start to arrive
to collect their children and we give parents feedback on what
their baby has done during the day. |
