Baby and toddler room

Our Baby and Toddler Room will accommodate up to six children from six weeks to two years of age. Our fully qualified and experienced Nursery Nurse Megan Churcher is in charge of the room and assisted by a qualified Nursery Assistant.

Within this room babies and toddlers will be able to explore their surroundings using all their senses. In our carpeted area children will be able to develop their basic motor skills and gain confidence crawling and taking their first steps with a soft landing awaiting them during these unsteady months.

For the activities provided in the Baby room we use the Early Years Foundation Stage to ensure children get the very best start we can give them.

We encourage parents to stay with their baby for a while in the beginning or bring them in before the initial session to ensure the baby is familiar with the surroundings and the staff.

We ask parents to provide us with an outline of their babies’ daily routine (sleeping, feeding, likes and dislikes etc.) which we will try to follow as much as possible to provide continuity of care.

We will provide you with a daily diary recording your babies’ food and drink intake, sleep and all activities.

Please provide your child with the following (all named):

• Formula Milk (which should be freshly mixed, by the Nursery Nurse)
• Food in suitable containers (no spoons please)
• Bib
• Cot sheet and blanket
• Change of clothes
• Nappies, wet wipes and any creams you use
• Sun cream and a sunhat in the summer
• Dummies in a suitable container
• Medication if needed (prescribed only, inform a senior member of staff in order to fill in the medication book, medication should not stay in the bag for safety reasons).
• A piece of fruit to share at snack time.
