Welcome and free play
Children arrive, settle in and choose how they would like to begin their day.
Every morning begins with a warm welcome from our friendly nursery team. Children are given time to settle in, say goodbye to their families and become comfortable in their surroundings. They can choose from a range of activities, explore their favourite toys, enjoy creative play or spend time with their friends. We believe a relaxed and positive start helps children feel secure, confident and ready for the adventures ahead.
9:30
Explore and learn
Small-group experiences, stories and child-led discoveries.
Mornings are filled with opportunities to discover something new. Through creative activities, storytelling, sensory exploration and purposeful play, children develop important early learning skills. Our practitioners encourage curiosity, communication and imagination while providing activities that reflect children's interests and individual stages of development. Every little discovery becomes an opportunity to learn, grow and build confidence.
11:00
Outdoor adventures
Fresh air, movement and plenty of room to make big discoveries.
Outdoor play gives children the freedom to move, explore and experience the world around them. Whether they are running, climbing, gardening, playing games or discovering nature, these experiences help develop physical coordination, confidence and independence. We encourage children to explore their surroundings, take on new challenges and enjoy the many learning opportunities that outdoor play brings.
12:00
Lunch together
Nutritious food and time to talk, try and share.
Mealtimes are an important part of our nursery day. Children enjoy their meals in a relaxed and friendly environment where they can develop healthy eating habits, explore different flavours and enjoy time together. With encouragement from our practitioners, children are supported in developing independence, practising table manners and making positive choices. We want lunchtime to be an enjoyable social experience for everyone.
15:30
Stories and home time
A calm close to the day and a warm goodbye.
As the day comes to an end, children enjoy quieter activities, favourite stories and opportunities to reflect on their experiences. It is a lovely time to share moments with friends, enjoy a little storytelling and begin winding down after a busy day of learning and play. Our team ensures children are ready for collection and that families receive any important updates about their child's day before heading home.

What does a typical day at nursery look like?
A typical day at Little Learners is filled with opportunities to play, explore, learn and make friends. Every child is different, so while we follow a gentle daily routine, we also make room for children's individual interests, needs and discoveries.
Our practitioners create a balance of child-led play, planned learning experiences, outdoor adventures, creative activities and opportunities to develop independence.
A typical day may include:
1. Welcome and free play
Children arrive, settle in and choose activities that interest them. This is a relaxed time to say goodbye to families, reconnect with friends and become comfortable in the nursery environment.
2. Explore and learn
Through small-group activities, storytelling, creative experiences and hands-on exploration, children develop curiosity, communication, confidence and early learning skills.
3. Outdoor adventures
Fresh air and outdoor play give children opportunities to run, explore, climb, discover nature and develop physical skills while enjoying the world around them.
4. Lunch together
Mealtimes are a chance to enjoy nutritious food, develop healthy habits, practise independence and share conversations with friends.
5. Stories and home time
As the day winds down, children enjoy quieter activities, favourite stories and time to reflect on their experiences. Our team helps children prepare for collection and shares important updates with families.
Every child has their own journey.
Our daily routine is flexible and adapted to children's ages, developmental stages and individual needs, ensuring that every child feels supported, included and encouraged to learn at their own pace.
