A Typical Day

At Conkers Day Nursery, no two days are ever quite the same, because no two children are! We care for children from 3 months to preschool age, with routines thoughtfully tailored to suit each developmental stage:

Babies (3–24 months)

Toddlers (24–36 months)

Preschoolers (36 months and up)

While we follow a consistent structure to provide children with a sense of security and rhythm, we also understand the importance of flexibility. During your child’s settling-in sessions, we’ll take time to get to know their home routine so we can mirror it as closely as possible, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and understood from the very beginning.

Each day at Conkers is a balanced blend of play, learning, rest, meals, and outdoor adventures, all adapted to meet your child’s individual needs, interests, and stage of development.
