The structure of the day at babies is very flexible and based around the needs of each 
of the individual children we have. We spend time getting to know your child, and parents’ needs, wishes and preference before the baby starts at the nursery so that we can plan their day around their own routines. In the younger Baby Group (B1) our routine is completely flexible and there is no set ‘nursery’ routine, apart from fitting in two adult planned activities in the morning, and a further two in the afternoon, we are completely responsive to their children’s needs. This means that in B1 there are always a few children eating, some sleeping, and some playing! Each child’s routine is clearly displayed for the practitioners to follow. In the older Baby Group (B2), there 
is a carefully planned routine to start to introduce some traditional ‘nursery’ elements into their day, such as planned eating times, common sleep times, circle time and set times for activities. However our approach remains flexible and responsive to children’s changing and developing needs. For example, most children in B2 sleep for 30 to 45 minutes in the morning, and again after lunch, but some children will skip their morning sleep or sleep again in the afternoon.
The B2 day looks something like this!
