Daily Routine

Our Daily Routine

Our daily routine provides a reassuring rhythm while remaining flexible enough to accommodate each child’s individual needs, interests and stage of development. This is a brief overview of the nursery routine, it does change depending on the room regarding sleep and planned activities, however we believe it's important that throughout their time at Inn Farm they retain the same structure throughout the day.
