What will a typical day look like?
Independence​
We believe that independence is the cornerstone of lifelong learning. Through carefully designed activities and daily routines, we encourage children to take on responsibilities that are appropriate for their age. Whether it's choosing their own materials during play, dressing themselves, or solving problems with peers, every moment is an opportunity for growth.
Outdoor learning
​
At Stepping Stones, we ensure that outdoor play is a daily part of our curriculum, regardless of the season. We embrace all types of weather, knowing that each offers unique opportunities for learning and fun. From splashing in puddles to making snow angels, our children experience the joys of every season, building resilience and a love for the outdoors.
Lunch Club
Lunch club is an additional half an hour after a morning session or is included in the longer days your child attends. Each child brings a packed lunch to be eaten at the table with the other children fully supervised by the staff. Good table manners and consideration of other children are encouraged. We often incorporate 'keeping fit and strong' into our activities and find that healthy lunchboxes help to reinforce these ideas. More information is available in the link below:

Preparation for primary school
In preparation for starting school, many of our Pre-schoolers do one or two full days during their final year with us. This allows greater individual focus and pursuing interests raised by the children and also helps them get used to being in a school setting for a longer day. We receive a huge amount of positive feedback from parents and children about the fact that we offer these sessions.
