What different types of Activities do we get up to?
On a daily basis we always go out, during the morning I often have smaller children so I will take them to play groups or to parks to help them with their social and physical development. I also meet people with children of a similar age to them to let them create bonds and friends. After the nursery run, I usually have children of the ages 3-4 they love a walk and explore, here we often go on woodland walks to find bugs or to various different parks with challenges. However, depending on the younger children and nap time the pre-schoolers are happy to role play in the play room or play on the swings and slide in the garden. I always try to make it fair for the children at school so they do not miss out we might go to the prom after school so they can have a run about or to a park. We often do play dates too with their friends. In the half terms we do days out to the beach, farms and zoos. We go to nature parks and climb trees and feed the ducks. I also arrange playdates with all their friends too. I'm usually exhausted by the end of the week!
