Babies
Our baby room is a lovely bright area with a homely feel to support that all important transition from home to nursery.
- Each child’s individual needs and routines including sleep and meal times are respected and the staff work closely with parents to ensure that wherever possible, there is continuity of routine between home and nursery.
- Before babies start nursery, parents are encouraged to visit the nursery to discuss their child’s individual routines and needs with the staff and to agree a care plan.
- All of the children in the baby room are given lots of individual attention during the day by our friendly and caring staff.
- Activities are appropriate for the age and stage of development of the children and include a wide range of sensory experiences. Within the baby room, activities typically include heuristic play, music (banging & bashing as well as songs, rhymes and listening), messy play, ball pool play, paint activities, baby book time and loads of cuddles.
