The baby room is fully equipped with age appropriate resources and experienced staff to cater for your child from the age of 6 weeks to 2 years old.
Working within a keyworker system on a 1:3 ratio, you and your child will become familiar with a designated Nursery Officer who will be responsible for maintaining your child's development and progress records and providing feedback to you relating to your child's activities and experiences during their day. |
Diary sheets are sent home on a daily basis, informing you of your child's routine and activity for that day.
In order to maintain continuity of care between the home and the nursery, we ask that you provide toiletries for your child such as nappies and creams, giving you the choice as to the brands and products that are used. We also ask that any milk feeds are prepared at home and clearly labelled. Milk will be stored in the "milk kitchen" within the baby room.
We ask that before your child starts nursery that you inform us of the details of your child's typical daily routine, their likes and dislikes and anything that may be personal to the care requirements of your child. |
| "Children thrive as a result of strong continuity of care; this has developed through the excellent relationship that staff have built and strive to maintain with parents." OfSTED Report April 2007. |
The "Birth to three matters" framework is followed in this room, focusing on a strong child, a "skilful communicator, a competent learner and a healthy child".
Activities that your child may experience during the day could include painting, music and movement, water play, sand play and story telling; with opportunities for quiet time, rest and sleep. |
| The 0-2 room provides a homely, yet stimulating environment for your young child. |
"They [staff] frequently praise the children for effort and achievement and are always ready with cuddles, acknowledging and affirming their need to be loved and valued and encouraging them to feel special and important." OfSTED Report April 2007 |
