As no two days caring for babies, toddlers and children are the same, I have detailed as closely as I can an example of our day. It is very flexible and varies depending upon the Children being minded and what they would like to do (within reason!), along with the weather. Early morning - 8.30am Arrivals, breakfast and independent play. 8.30 am School run and pre-school runs (if needed). 9.30am - 11.30am Outing to park, seaside, toddler group or shops, or an activity appropriate to the season including painting, messy play, play-dough, creative play, cooking etc. 11.30am School/pre-school pick-ups (if needed). 12.15pm - 1pm Lunch. 1pm - 2.30pm Quiet/relax time - naps for children who need them, reading aloud, including nursery rhymes, sensory play such as treasure baskets. 2.30pm - 3.30pm School pick-up (if needed). 3.30pm - 4.30pm Independent play indoors, or out in the garden (weather permitting). 4.30pm - 5.00pm Dinner. 5.30pm onwards Quiet play, including TV and videos, until home time.
