Things like the school/prescool runs are fixed but otherwise I try and fit in with individual childrens routines that they have at home as much as I can, it can be a little tricky when new children start and the routine has to change but it usually setles down quickly. The children and parents definitely seem to prefer a "framework" for the day so that they know what to expect and when but within that I ensure lots of flexiblity to cater for differing moods/needs and spontaneity.
