BABY
UNIT > 0-2 YEARS |
 |
It is important
that babies feel loved and secure hence it is vital to maintain
a calm, relaxed atmosphere. It is for this reason that babies
have a self-contained area, enabling them to enjoy their own
routine. There is a large play area for your child to explore
new objects and to aid them in taking their first steps.
A feeding area is also located within the same room to maintain
continuity throughout their day. The sleep room provides a quiet
and peaceful area ensuring that your child can take a nap when
they are ready whilst being constantly monitored.
Through the use of Daily Books we can record and communicate
your childs daily progress to ensure that you are kept
fully informed of any significant events that take place. These
books also provide a source of memories for many years to come.

For those children
who are slightly older, the baby unit has been designed specifically
to meet the growing and active needs of this age group. With
increasing mobility and desire to develop independence, the
children have an area for art and craft, building and construction,
in order to promote their ever increasing motor skills. The
activities are changed in the morning and afternoon to keep
the toddlers fully occupied and to give them the opportunity
to enhance all areas of development.
Our programme for the under 2’s is centred on natural
curiosity, allowing them to explore and learn at their own pace.
Our team of staff provide all the children with a sense of belonging
and a happy feeling of being loved and cared for.
