We are justly proud of our baby and toddler rooms, which are self-contained units.
Our youngest children only progress to the next rooms when both parent and key person feel the time is right. This is done gradually over a period of time to enable smooth transition. In keeping with the rest of the nursery these rooms are large, bright, airy and well equipped. The children enjoy a wealth of play and learning opportunities designed to allow free expression and to satisfy natural curiosity.
Your child's key person will form a close bond with your child and through close interaction will provide encouragement and build confidence and self-esteem whilst acting as a role model for your child.
Staff will actively encourage children to develop their first skills in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage i.e. smiling, touching, grasping, sitting, crawling, walking and talking. Our wide range of stimulating equipment encourages learning through play.
Staff detailing your child’s feeding, changing and sleeping patterns together with a record of their activities will logged on Famly.
Baby Milk/Weaning Foods
All babies up to the age of approximately nine months should be provided with their own formula milks and weaning foods. After this age babies will be encouraged to eat suitably prepared nursery meals.
The children have their own large bright and spacious room, which is well equipped with appropriate resources and toys for their age and stages of development.
Many children at this age still need a daily sleep and we have individual sleep-mats for sleep times.
All our staff have an excellent knowledge and understanding of the Early Years Foundation Stage and development checks are carried out between your child's second and third birthday.
Our Pre-school rooms benefit from large bright airy rooms, which are well equipped with a wide range of play equipment and learning resources.
The equipment and toys are set out in an inviting way and offer opportunities for the children to play with puzzles, mathematical equipment (i.e. sorting, matching, pairs etc), drawing, construction, ICT and imaginative play. There are vast selections of books and quiet areas for their enjoyment.
The children have opportunities to use the art, craft and messy area, the garden and to explore the wide range of activities that are carefully chosen for them daily.
