I've found it's important that children have an age-appropriate routine as it allows them to understand what their day will be like. The day starts with mat time, which helps them settle and gives opportunities for learning and discussing anything that they have done over the last few days, including anything that they would like to do whilst in my care. This gives children the chance for free speech and authenticity.
