A Day in the Life of a Nursery Nurse

Day starts at 10am

10:05: Give juice and biscuits to children whilst reading a story.

10: 15: Supervise children whilst playing indoors. Make sure that there have a variety of activities available. Play with children, observe and etc.

This is social, intellectual and physical needs of the child as they are interacting with other children and playing around which increases their health rate and also learning new games.

10: 45: Get children to tidy up the toys and get ready to go outside.

This is intellectual and social needs as the child would be interacting with other children and staff and also would be learning reasonability and keeping things neat and organised.

10:50: Supervise children outside/ tidy up the toys and reset the tables for afternoon play / set the lunch tables (it depends on the day of the week because we have a rota).
