Our Routines
Our Day
At Patcham Village pre-school we provide a carefully balanced mix of free-play and adult-directed/supported activities and tasks. Children’s days begin with a brief ‘Wake’n’Shake’ session, after which everyone enjoys free-flow play and snack, coming together again at 11.40am for a movement and dance session and a story session at the end of the morning, which is split according to children’s abilities and needs. Nurture groups and our rising 5’s enjoy 'Tiger-time' mid-morning, when the activities offered are child-centred around children’s interests. Lunchtime in the middle of the day offers children and staff a wonderful social time when independence is encouraged and fostered; after which children once again enjoy free-play and free-flow snack mid-afternoon, finally ending the day with a story and the 'Goodbye' Song.
