This room is set up with a safe and secure area for the very young whilst offering lots of opportunities for sensory and messy play. The activities offered are planned in accordance with the EYFS and will meet all the children's individual needs whilst making sure they are stimulated, challenge and entertained.

The babies have access to a secure outdoor play area, a natural

learning environment "Twiglets" and a covered deck to allow for

 outdoor play even when it is wet and cold outside. 

The staff are qualified and experienced in the care of the

very young and each child is allocated a "Key Worker",

who works closely with parents/carers to ensure the 

transition from home to nursery goes smoothly as possible.

 This is helped by asking parents/carers to fill in a "My Day"

routine so we can keep to the individual routine for every child.

"Daily Diaries" will be filled in each day for the younger babies,

these will pass on information about your child's day including

activities, mealtimes, sleep/rest times etc. These books are a two

way form of communication and any information you feel the

nursery may need to know may be written in them.

For the older babies, the information about your child's day is

displayed on the information board located outside the room. 

We try to operate on a higher than 1:3 ratio for the main part of

the day and we are lucky enough to have experienced mums who

work in Under Twos to provide the extra person for additional 

cuddles etc.

The children recieve well balanced healthy meals which are cooked on site. We are able to follow parents/carers wishes when it comes to weaning needs to ensure we meet the individual families wishes. 

The children usually move through to the Toddler Room around the age of two but this depends on their stage of development. The "Key Worker" will discuss the child's development with the parents/carers and decide the most appropriate time for transition together. The "Key Worker" will then take the child into the Toddler room for settling in visits, initially staying to support the child then gradually increasing the time the child spends in the new room with their new "Key Worker" to ensure they are happy and confident in their new room.

Parents/carers will need to provide milk feeds in clearly labelled bottles, nappies, wipes, creams, spare clothes and any comfort toys, blankets, dummies etc.

Staff are always on hand to chat with you regarding your child's development and are committed to ensuring nursery is a happy experience for both you and your child.
