The pre-school's timetable and routines
Sutton Nursery School believes that care and education are equally important in the experience which we offer children. The routines and activities that make up the pre-school's session/day are provided in ways that:

help each child to feel that she/he is a valued member of the nursery school;
ensure the safety of each child;
help children to gain from the social experience of being part of a group; and
provide children with opportunities to learn and help them to value learning.

Pre-school Care	start 8.30am	finish 9.00am
Morning School	start 9.00am	finish11.30am
Lunch	11.30am	1.00pm
Afternoon School	start 1.00pm	finish 3.30pm
After-care School	start 3.30pm	finish 5.00pm

The session
The nursery school organises its sessions so that the children can choose from - and work at - a range of activities and, in doing so, build up their ability to select and work through a task to its completion. The children are also helped and encouraged to take part in adult-led small and large group activities which introduce them to new experiences and help them to gain new skills, as well as helping them to learn to work with others.

Outdoor activities contribute to children's health, their physical development and their knowledge of the world around them. The children have the opportunity - and are encouraged - to take part in outdoor child-chosen and adult-led activities, as well as those provided in the indoor playroom/s.

Drinks and meals
The nursery school makes drinks and meals a social time at which the children eat together. Nursery school meals are conveyed to the setting from New Oscott Junior School kitchens. They are planned to provide the children with healthy and nutritious food. Do tell us about your child's dietary needs and we will make sure that these are met.
