N.B. This timetable is only an indication of a day at the nursery. Children have the right to make choices throughout their day. Key workers will follow up child-initiated ideas, which can mean a change of plan/activity e.g. If it's an extremely hot day, we might decide to use the paddling pool, spray water at each other etc. If it snows we might make snowmen and have a snowball fight.
