If your child is in for either a morning or full day session they get the opportunity to choose which lunch they would like that day before entering the classroom. There is always a vegetarian options as well as options for our children with allergies/intolerances or cultural/religious preferences.
Once your child chooses their lunch, they enter the playroom where they find their peg label and choose a peg of their choice for that session. Once the name tag is placed on the peg, they can hang up their jacket and bag. Children who choose to go outside straight away will leave their jacket on.
Once your child has self registered and put their belongings on their peg, they always have to wash their hands before being able to go off and explore the nursery. Hygiene is very important to us at Gilcomstoun nursery and we have always taught children the importance of washing their hands when they arrive, when coming in from outdoor play as well as after using the toilet and before/after eating.
Once your child has washed their hands, they then have the choice of where to explore first in the nursery - so many interesting and engaging opportunities are available each day.
