For
Babies..
Our purpose built Baby & Toddler unit is designed
to be bright, cheerful and stimulating. We have been careful
to provide a variety of educational & musical toys to
enhance your child’s development. The baby room gives
children the opportunity from a very early age, to explore
different textures and mediums, learning from their first
hand experiences.
There isplenty of opportunity for hugs and cuddles!
Provision is made for rest and quiet times when soft toys
and soothing music will help to encourage peaceful sleep.
Parents are expected to supply nappies and a
complete named change of clothes for their child. For the
bottle fed baby we would ask for a supply of ‘made up’
bottles on a daily basis and any comforters’ i.e dummies,
blankets, teddies.
We have a full time Cook who provides a balanced,
nutritious menu for children, with all food freshly prepared
on the premises. Your Key Person will work closely alongside
you to establish routines that best suit the needs of both
you and your baby.
For
Toddlers..
At approximately 12 months of age, your child will
move into the Toddler room..
The transition from the Baby Unit to the Toddler Room is sensitively
managed and timed according to your child’s individual
needs. Your Key Person will discuss the move beforehand with
you and take into account your wishes.
One your child progresses to our Toddler room,
routines reflect the fact that they are developing at a rapid
pace. More and more activities are introduced with new experiences
and opportunities allowing them to explore and discover things
for themselves.
Children discover language and begin sharing
their thoughts and ideas with others, beginning to use different
senses and tools for communication. Children’s creativity
and imagination are fostered through painting, construction
and role play. As they gain more independence and confidence,
we give them all the support they need. |
