Our Routine



Here at Big Discoveries Nursery, our routine is focussed around our children.

We have a loose structure of when our meals and snacks are served but this is flexible based on the children's enagagement in their play.

The children have a say in the daily routine and activities- sometimes they want lunch early!

Curriculum

We follow the guidance of the Early Years Foundation Stage when planning provision for our children. We plan for our children based on their interests.
