Koala nursery routines

Koala day Nursery strives to provide a routine and structure for the nursery day while the children are in our care. The nursery routine is outlined in the link below.

Whilst the nursery routine can give some structure to the day and provide an outline and expectation for parents and carers, flexible routines take into account your child’s natural rhythm, but are also set within a structured framework.

Hence the nursery day can be modified to suit the needs of our children from day to day. 

On the initial induction meeting between staff and parents/carers, information will be collated about sleep patterns, eating habits and toileting routines. 

This information provides us with a starting point and staff at Koala Day Nursery work with parents/carers to provide a safe and secure envioronment for the child. 

Please see nursery routine outline below:
