What's Going On?
No two days are the same at Smarties, however the days are structured in a similar way, so children learn a sense of time and routine.
7:30 Church Doors of St Andrews, Open for Breakfast Club
8:20 Walking Bus for Primary School Children leave via Meols Park .
9:00 Children welcomed into Smarties; Self-registration; independent choice of play.
9:10 Church doors closed; Children divided into Pre-school or Playgroup and smaller groups to participate in a variety of activities with their Key Person. Activities take into account their needs, interests and abilities. These will be consistent with the Early Years Foundation Stage . Children utilise the main hall, the ‘messy room’, the ‘quiet room’, the 'Outside Classroom' and the garden to make full use of a wider range of activities, equipment and environments, including physical activity in the hall or garden outside. We follow Wirral’s preferred ‘Continuous Provision’ approach to delivering high quality learning.
Snacks and drinks are also provided which encourages children to learn about hygiene, try new foods from a healthy eating/drinking option, and to sit at tables and socialise. They also take turns to set the table and to clear up at the end. Those more able can select and pour themselves.
11:00 Tidy-up time; physical activity in main hall/garden; story time; song time; review of the day.
11:25 Parents collect children and can have an update from their Key Person and discuss how learning can continue at home with ideas from the week.
11:30 Lunch Club continues with activities for those staying for a longer session.
12:00 Lunch
12:30 Rest and story before final outdoor play and activities.
12:55 Home time and review with parents as necessary.
