The baby room, initially open for babies up to 18 months, evolved based on feedback from both our team and families. Understanding the crucial developmental phase, we extended the age limit to 2 years. This adjustment grants babies more time to explore, grow, and comfortably transition into our toddler room around their second birthdays.
With a maximum capacity of 9 babies and a 1:3 ratio, our dedicated team of four practitioners ensures that we exceed staffing requirements. This deliberate overstaffing underscores our commitment to delivering exceptional care and attention to each child, maintaining the highest quality of care throughout their time in our baby room.
A nurturing room, where a dedicated team—comprising a room leader, practitioner, assistant practitioner, and playworker—aims for consistency while understanding that changes sometimes occur. Rest assured, our management team collaborates closely to maintain continuity for your child’s comfort.
A tranquil sleep room, adhering to safer sleep guidance from the Lullaby Trust, ensures peaceful rest times for our little ones.
Outdoors, our expansive garden offers unbounded exploration opportunities, allowing babies to revel in nature’s wonders, unrestricted by time or weather. Our Forest School program enriches their experiences with one fixed session weekly and the freedom to explore at their own pace.
Adventure continues with regular trips to local parks, lakes, and sheep visits, fostering a deeper connection to the world around them.
Meal times are moments of exploration and learning, aligning with our nursery’s menu—clean and pure, devoid of harmful additives. We accommodate various weaning methods, fostering independence while making meal times enjoyable and social.
Carefully following NHS guidelines, we tailor bottle preparations to your child’s routine, encouraging breastfeeding and supporting the storage of expressed milk. Early introduction to cups and beakers promotes oral hygiene and independent skills.
Our health and hygiene practices emphasise tooth brushing, regular nappy changes, and stringent cleanliness routines, especially regarding runny noses and illness identification.
We prioritise a strong partnership with parents, offering ongoing communication, support with routines, and encouraging involvement in open days. Your input about your child and family helps tailor their experiences, nurturing confident and secure toddlers.
Regular consultations ensure we continually meet your expectations and provide satisfactory service. Explore our parent partnership page for recent consultations and stay connected to make your child’s journey with us as enriching as possible.
