Our Routine

Wildflowers Montessori, our daily routine is thoughtfully designed to create a balanced, nurturing, and engaging day for the children. We have a free-flow to the outdoors which means children spend supervised time outside in the garden as often as they’d like (weather permitting), during free play time.

8:30AM - Welcome and Free Play: Each child is warmly welcomed into the nursery, with time for free play to ease into the day, promoting independence and social interaction.

9:00AM - Work Circle: Children come together for work circle, a Montessori-inspired session that encourages focus, collaboration, and choice as they engage in self-led activities.

9:30AM - Directed Activity: A teacher-guided activity provides structured exploration, introducing new concepts or projects aligned with the Montessori approach and eco practices.

10:00AM Group Time: Children gather as a group to share stories, songs, or discussions, fostering a sense of community and belonging.

10:30AM Healthy Snack: Nutritious, balanced snacks fuel energy for the day, encouraging children to make mindful, healthy choices.

11:00AM Garden Time: Outdoor exploration lets children connect with nature, enhancing physical development and environmental awareness through hands-on experiences

12:00PM Lunch Time: A nutritious, communal meal encourages self-care skills and social interaction. ***Children bring their own packed lunch to ensure that all dietary requirements are met for each child. We kindly ask that you limit single use plastics as much as possible. After lunch, children are encourage to sort their rubbish into recycling bins and will learn the process of composting food scraps.

12:45PM Nap Time/One-on-One Activities: Children have time to rest and recharge, while others can engage in one-on-one Montessori activities that support individual growth.

3:00PM Snack: Another healthy snack break keeps children energised as the afternoon unfolds.

3:45 Garden Time: A second outdoor session encourages physical activity and a deepened connection with the natural world.

5:00 PM Group Time: Children regroup for a final collaborative activity, reflecting on the day and strengthening friendships.

5:00 - 5:30PM Goodbye: The day concludes with a warm goodbye, setting a positive tone as children transition back to home.

This routine provides a consistent, balanced structure, creating a harmonious blend of play, learning, rest, and connection with nature.
