From the The Willows Day Nursery (Chatteris) Ltd
We focus on integrating the kids into the nursery environment as soon as they come in the morning.
Children will enter their rooms at 9:00 am to begin their scheduled activities.
We think it's crucial to incorporate outside play into the nursery's daily schedule.
Everyone's health depends on exposure to natural light and fresh air, so when the weather permits, parents encourage their kids to play outside or go on walks.
To help the kids better comprehend the environment, we aim to expose them to nature as much as we can.
We ask all parents to provide us a pair of wellington boots with a name that will be maintained at the nursery.
Children may wander freely between the interior and outside throughout the day in our Toddler and Preschool Room thanks to a free-flow entrance into our completely enclosed garden.
Every mealtime is a chance to support a child's social skill development.
Children are also taught good table manners during mealtimes.
Children who arrive to the daycare after this hour are likely to have had lunch elsewhere.
Some kids, especially the smaller ones, will need to rest after lunch in order to be ready for the afternoon activities.
If parents would like, they can discuss their child's day at the nursery with the personnel.
In our nursery, we prefer not to impose a strict schedule on everyday activities.
Each kid should feel confident, smart, and capable of learning, and that learning is joyful and exciting.
