Lighthouse Nursery - Nursery Routine

This is our basic daily routine for the nursery, but we also value spontaneity. Sometimes we arrange different visits or events; e.g. we may have a visit from a postman or a fire crew and their fire engine, or a child’s baby brother or sister may have a bath in the Nursery with his or her Mum.
