A Typical Day in the Nursery

If you would like to know how your child's day will be at The Chelsea Nursery, below you can read what a normal day looks like. However, no day is the same, and we often have special events of sessions to bring some new excitement into the sessions.

The Baby Room

Your baby's development is so quick at this age, and they need to have the space to move and explore which is what The Chelsea Nursery offers your child.

At this age, your child’s rapid physical growth is accompanied by an intense sensitivity to language. Long before your child has spoken their first words, he or she has developed a love for hearing people talking, with a special excitement when that discussion is about them and their discoveries.

We have included a general timetable as to our daily routine, it is however dependent on each individual child’s needs, and therefore we can be flexible.

9:00 - 10:00 Free play and garden play

For bottle times and sleep we will follow your child’s routine. One to one key carer time takes place at different times during the day.

Toddler Room

As your toddler is moving around alot more, we need to give them more opportunities to exercise and explore, and give them more challenges and activities to grow their curiosity.
