Short Term Planning (forms the basis of what provision we provide in order to teach our children and extend their learning)

 

​

Morning Timetable (helps to familiarise children with a routine and thus builds on their confidence and self-esteem)

​

NB: We aim to follow the same timetable each week in order to offer the same opportunities for all the children, unless staff members feel that adaptions should be made to improve the provision or extend learning experiences.  Staff will monitor these changes through recorded observations and make adjustments to resources as necessary.  With this in mind, please follow this link to see our revised timetables which accommodate our afternoon sessions as well as 'Wet Play' and 'Free Flow'
