Orchard
Come and look around
A day here

Time to try.
Time to return.

A familiar daily rhythm gives children a sense of what comes next, with space to follow an interest a little further.

A day with a rhythm of its own

From hello
to home time.

A familiar shape to the day, with room for an unexpected idea. Choose a time to take a look.

Monday–Friday, 8:30–3:30. Times give the day a shape; play, care and the needs of the group guide its pace.

A calm arrival

A familiar hello.

Coats on pegs, a greeting from a familiar adult and time to find something inviting. Families share a brief handover before the day begins.

  2. An idea takes shape.

    Blocks become a bridge. Paper becomes a map. Children choose materials, talk through ideas and return to the things that have caught their interest.

  3. A little further outside.

    There is room to move, look closely at a leaf and take an idea outdoors. The activity and the time outside respond to weather and the needs of the group.

  4. A place at the table.

    A shared lunch and a slower part of the day. Children take part in simple routines, with adults nearby to support the conversation and the practical details.

  5. Time to slow down.

    A quiet space for rest, books and gentle activity. The afternoon leaves time to return to play before collection at 3:30.

  6. A story to take home.

    Collection and a brief handover bring the day back to families. A note about a new construction, a favourite book or a patient moment with a friend can help begin the conversation at home.

Familiar routines.
Room for new ideas.

Times are a guide to the day, not a signal to interrupt every piece of play. Adults prepare for meals, outdoor time and rest while paying attention to the group in front of them.

Children who need quiet have a place to step back. An idea with more to give can return later in the day.
