Evening Routine

The Evening Night Care is flexible and where possible meets the individual routines and needs of children and families.

Evening Care mainly operates with vertical age grouping, allowing siblings to be in the same space together. However when there is a larger group size, the children who are under 2 years of age move to another room.

The first part of our routine is that families and children are greeted and settled. This is an opportunity to share information with staff and settle your child into an activity before saying good-bye.

Children have dinner in the dining room at approximately 6:30pm and it is an opportunity for children to engage in conversations about their day with other children and the staff.

After dinner children choose from a variety of experiences. The experiences are planned by the staffing team and are based on children's interests, their conversations and any spontaneous activities that have occurred.

After activities children get into their pyjamas and have a small supper before brushing their teeth and going to bed.

The older children sleep on fold out beds, younger children on mattresses and babies in cots.

On Friday overnight care is available. Upon waking children are provided with breakfast and will get ready for the day by getting dressed and brushing their teeth.
