The Muddy Boots Self-Isolation Survival Kit… Part 5 - Routine!

It’s time for another part of the Muddy Boots Self-Isolation Survival Guide, and today we want to talk all about routine!

It’s an essential part of life at Muddy Boots, it makes sure each day there is some form of normality and it gets our little ones increasingly ready for life after nursery as they make their way through to school.

Whilst you might find yourselves locked in at home, we thought it might be helpful to layout as best we can our daily routines for each age category, so if you wanted to you can follow it along, and hopefully minimise any disruption to your little ones life.

Below you will find the different age categories we cater to, and when we do certain set things, such as mealtimes and definite daily activities. For ideas about the things we get up to during ‘free play’ you can check out part one and two of our self-isolation blog series, which will give you general and age specific activities we love at Muddy Boots.
