Nursery Life
Day-to-Day
During a typical day, children spend their time in our exciting and stimulating environment including outside play areas which promote discovery.
Activities may include messy play, music and movement, construction, PE and song and story time. We have close links with staff from across Loughborough Schools Foundation, who often lead exciting P.E and singing sessions with the children. We also have access to sensory spaces, a Library with ICT facilities and a unique Forest School – our own discovery village!
Your child’s day is planned around their individual needs and interests and at the end of each day, you will receive in-depth feedback from your child’s key person.
“Staff recognise the importance of encouraging children to develop a sense of responsibility and independence.”
– Ofsted Report, 2024

Morning sessions run from 07:30 to 12:30 and include breakfast, a snack and lunch. Afternoon sessions run from 13:00 to 18:00 and include an afternoon snack and tea. A full day is from 07:30 to 18:00 and includes all meals and snacks. Places are classified as either full or part-time and a full-time place is where children attend for five full days.
All dietary requirements are catered for, and meals are prepared fresh daily by our experienced Nursery Chefs. We ensure that all meals are healthy, balanced and nutritious, supporting your child’s development. Children in our Pioneers room enjoy their meals in a separate dining area and are encouraged to self-serve their food.
All meals are conveniently incorporated into our daily rate, which also includes nappies and your child’s preferred formula milk, if used, up to their first birthday.
