A Typical Day in the Nursery

If you would like to know how your child's day will be at Horris Hill Nursery, below you can read what a normal day looks like. However, no day is the same, and we often have special events and sessions to bring some new excitement into the day.

Toddlers

As your toddler is moving around a lot more, we need to give them more opportunities to exercise and explore, and give them more challenges and activities to develop their curiosity.

We have included a general guide to the daily routine. However, this is a guide as we hope to have different activities and exercises for all your child at Horris Hill Nursery.

Pre-School

We prepare our Pre-School children ready for their big adventure to school. They will have more responsibility throughout the day to help increase their independence in preparing them for school. We encourage children’s independence with more responsibility, such as special jobs or helper tasks through the usual routine and by setting more challenging tasks.
