Daily Routine in September



Children arrive at 9:05 for the first week
(WB. 8th September), parents are welcome to help their
child find their peg, drawer, lunch box trolley and sit
down on the carpet.
WB. 15th September, children come in at 9:05 and you
can help with coats and bags but see if children can
come to the carpet on their own.
WB. 22nd September, children come in at 9:05 and
parents can still come into the setting but in previous
years we have found that the children are generally
happy to come in on their own (its harder for the
parents!). But please feel free to check them onto the
carpet.
