An overview of a day at Preschool
The preschool day begins at 7am in our open‑plan learning environment, where children arrive to a rich variety of activities and areas designed to spark curiosity and challenge all aspects of their development. After settling in, they join their morning briefing and registration before enjoying a healthy, independent breakfast at 8:30am. Throughout the morning, children explore themed learning activities, take part in planned trips linked to their curriculum, and enjoy community experiences such as visiting the local library or shop. At 10:30am, an optional snack is offered, with children choosing and preparing fruit and enjoying milk or water while continuing to explore all areas of the preschool, including the ICT Hub, sensory garden, children’s kitchen and messy play spaces.
Lunch is served at 11:45am, with children supported to serve their own meals and enjoy social table games and conversations. The afternoon continues with child‑led play, followed by planned activities from 1pm and occasional trips between 1pm and 4pm. A fresh vegetable snack is available at 3:30pm before tidy‑up time and a daily reflection session at 4:20pm, where children share what they have learned and wind down in small group times. Dinner is freshly prepared and served at 4:50pm, and from 5:10pm children enjoy relaxed free play until collection. At pick‑up, parents receive verbal feedback from practitioners as well as a personalised email summarising their child’s meals, activities and photos from their day.
