A Typical Day – Dormice Room
A day full of care, play & discovery
Our Dormice Room provides a warm, nurturing environment for our
youngest children, with plenty of time to explore, play, rest and
develop at their own pace.
Every little one is different
In the Dormice Room, we understand that babies and toddlers each
have their own routines. Our team works closely with families to
support each child’s individual needs throughout the day, including
meals, sleep, comfort and play.
While no two days are exactly the same, here’s a little look at
what a typical day at Brambles might include.
Good morning 🌿
Children arrive and settle into the room with familiar adults
and plenty of opportunities for free play. Activities may
include small-world play, puzzles, imaginative play, mark
making and sensory exploration.
Snack time 🍎
Children come together for a morning snack with a selection
of suitable choices. It’s also a lovely opportunity for
social interaction and developing independence.
Explore & discover 🌱
Children enjoy free-flow play with opportunities to explore
both indoors and outdoors. Our team provides activities
supporting individual learning and development, including
messy play, sensory experiences, creative activities and
lots of physical play.
Lunch together 🍽️
Lunchtime is a relaxed and sociable part of the day.
Children can enjoy a hot meal prepared at Brambles or bring
a suitable packed lunch from home.
Rest, play & more adventures ☁️
The afternoon continues with play, exploration and planned
activities. Sleep and rest are provided according to each
child’s individual routine rather than expecting every
child to sleep at the same time.
Their routine comes first
The times above are only a guide. Our Dormice team remains flexible
throughout the day so that feeding, sleeping, changing, comfort and
play can be adapted around each child’s individual needs.
A little extra fun
🎵 Music & movement
During term time, our youngest children can enjoy music and
movement sessions with activities such as dancing, scarves,
parachute play and movement games.
