Sessions, fees and our daily routine:
Sessions:
We are open 9-3.30pm. We offer full days or morning/afternoon sessions. No minimum session required.
£25.00 per session (morning or afternoon). Indoor and outdoor play whatever the weather so please bring appropriate clothing. Milk and water is always available. A healthy snack will be provided mid morning and mid afternoon
Lunch Club:

We have lunch half an hour 12.-12.30. We cook a hot home cooked nutritional meal on site everyday. All the children sit down for meal time together. We cater for all dietary requirements.
Forest school
We are very fortunate to offer forest school sessions at our woodland area. These are led by Miss Emily our qualified forest school lead and early years level 6 teacher. These are currently held 3 times a week.
We charge £10 per full day for funded children as an optional fee to help us cover the cost of lunch, drinks and snacks an additonal half an hours childcare and a contribution to the forest school sessions.
Our daily routine:
Children will be welcomed, at the gate, by a member of staff at the start of each session. Each child will be shown where to hang their coat and bag before choosing where to play. Once all the children are in we have carpet time. This brings all the children together for a brief story or song and a register before free play in which the children can choose which areas they wish to access.
Our daily routine:
At around 10 am, 'The cafe' will be set up (with the children if they would like to help). We have toast, cereal, fruit, milk or water available for snack time and sometimes other things, such as croissants or pancakes.
On Wednesdays we sometimes visit the market, to collect fruit and veg with the children.
Before eating their snack, we make sure that all the children take off their coats, wash their hands thoroughly and sit down at the table. We talk to the children about the importance of cleanliness and we model and actively support good table manners. When they have finished eating and drinking we ask the children to tidy up after themselves and put their dirty pots in the washing up bowl.
Our daily routine:
At 11.30 am the children are asked to begin tidying up in preparation for lunch time. Staff model how to tidy the toys away, encouraging the children to do the same, before coming together on the carpet for a story/song or show an tell. At midday the children who are just doing a morning session go home and the others come together for lunch time.
After lunch there is more free play, with a snack at about 2pm, usually cheese and crackers or fruit and yogurt, and a drink (sometimes we bake for snack), tidy up time just is before 3pm, then a story and songs. The day ends at 3.30pm.
