Our Day

A Typical Day at Love Lane

8:30am – 11:30am, Monday to Friday

Our core session runs every weekday morning during term time. Children can arrive from 8:30am, with a settled start to the day including wake and shake, free-flow play, structured activities, snack time, and outdoor play.

Extended Afternoon Hours

In conjunction with Shaw-cum-Donnington Primary School next door, we're able to offer extended hours beyond our core morning session for families who need them. If you think you might need care beyond 11:30am, it's worth asking us about this when you register, so we can talk through what's currently available. Please see the school website for more information.
