I have a flexible daily routine here at Little Bears to allow us to change activities and timings according to the children’s needs, the activities in question and external factors such as the weather.

Our days are busy and fun and a mix of both adult and child led activities as required by the EYFS.

 

I ensure children have plenty of free access to choose their own resources as well as setting up activities that are geared towards the children’s current interests and meet their individual next steps in their development.

 

The routine below gives a good example of most days at Little Bears Childcare
