Children attend nursery for 5 sessions a week, either 5 mornings, 5 afternoons or 2½ days at the beginning or 2½ days at the end of the week. There is a connecting doorway within the setting that enables effective collaboration and transition between the two Early Years' rooms within our setting. Our provision is enhanced by the large outdoor area that all the children access to engage in a variety of learning activities.
