Daily Schedule
Our centre opens as early as 7.00 am for children of working parents.
We want to ensure that all children and parents can settle in at their own pace. That’s why you have the option of bringing your child to the nursery by 10.00 am. For example, babies may still have a different daily routine, or parents who work shifts might want to enjoy a leisurely breakfast with their child at home.
Between 7.00 am and 10.00 am, children can have breakfast in the bistro with their friends and a member of staff. Please send your child to nursery with breakfast every day. We provide the drinks.
We operate on an open-plan basis. The children are free to move around the nursery to pursue their interests (exploratory time) and to choose their playmates freely.
Nursery and pre-school children learn differently from schoolchildren. For this reason, we do not follow weekly lesson plans. We build on the children’s needs, ideas and interests (situational approach) and work with them to shape the daily educational routine (participation). We always keep the individual child’s specific support needs in mind and incorporate them into our activities.
The educational activities during the daily routine can therefore vary greatly. These may include, for example, playing in the outdoor area, walks, excursions, interest groups, language support and project work.
Project work is also a key focus of our work.
From 11.00 am, the children have lunch in the bistro in small groups with their friends and a member of staff.
From 1.00 pm, we offer all nursery children the chance to rest. The children can wind down with a story, some quiet music or a relaxation story.
In the afternoon, the children enjoy finishing activities they started in the morning or having free play. This is, amongst other things, very important for helping them process experiences and events.
After 3.00 pm, we offer a small afternoon snack.
Our centre closes at 5.00 pm.
