Childcare at Blossom Tree Early Education

Our Rhythm

Consistency within the daily, weekly and yearly routine ensures a strong foundation for children to feel secure and grounded in the session. The repetition becomes a rhythm which the child can anticipate and depend upon. Again this builds on the idea of children having moments to breathe in and out during the session.

Our typical daily routine looks like:

Outdoor play
Snack
Circle time
Indoor Play & Activity
Story
Lunch
Rest
Outdoor play
Snack

The transitions between each daily elements are accompanied with songs and supported by adults. This gentle flow and consistency supports children’s self-regulation and its simplicity and connection to a physical process is implicitly natural.

Our typical weekly routine looks like:

Tuesday	Watercolour painting	Porridge with honey & apples	Rice cake with jam & portion of fruit or vegetable
Wednesday	Bread making	Rice & seeds with apples	Corn cake with cream cheese & a portion of fruit or vegetable
Thursday	Wax crayon drawing	Home made vegetable soup & rolls with apples	Oat cake with hummus & a portion of fruit or vegetable

Children come to learn the days of the week and the routine, fondly referring to the day of the week by its activity or snack.
