Our Baby Room

Our baby room is a large open plan area that is a spacious, stimulating and friendly environment in which the babies can develop and grow.

We have spaces to encourage all areas of learning including our sensory corner, art and craft area, construction and imaginative play etc. The babies are able to move around freely and investigate with all the set activities as well as having access to lower level resources to explore for themselves.

We have our own kitchen area to prepare bottles and snacks throughout the day, and a sleep area where the babies can relax and sleep in a peaceful and calming environment.

All our staff have Paediatric First Aid training.

Our babies are encouraged in all areas of development by the activities we plan as well as spontaneous activities and observations whilst choosing how and what they explore. Our baby room staff always have your child in mind when planning activities and resources used to help towards their development stages and their next steps.

Your child's time in our baby room is full of new experiences, exploring senses, interacting and forming friendships, enjoying outdoor play and having lots of fun.

We aim for quality childcare in everything that we do, and your child's happiness, well-being and development is our main priority.

Our toddler room is a large open space area which allows the children to flow freely from each activity or area of learning.

The children have access to all areas of development, these include physical development, construction, arts and crafts, language, mathematics and personal-social and emotional.

We encourage free flow play in our nursery class so the children can explore and investigate with their chosen areas and equipment. As well as always having accessibility to the equipment and facilities we have out all the time they also have group activity time, one to one with key workers, outdoor investigating and much more.
