Babies
The Baby Room (also known as Yellow Room) caters for the youngest children, aged from 3 months to approximately 15 months old. Each baby’s day is flexible, and each different. We are happy for mothers who want to breast feed to pop in, otherwise we will feed your baby expressed milk or formula supplied by you. Feeding and sleeping are gently worked into a routine which suits each baby's individual needs.
The babies benefit from a wide range of daily activities, socialising with other children and familiar adults, listening and joining in with conversations and songs. There is plenty of space for physical play to kick and stretch, a firm but padded floor on which to learn to sit, crawl and walk safely, and toys specially chosen to encourage movement.
Mobiles, books, outings and interesting new objects are used to provide visual stimulation. Water, paint and other materials are used for messy play to develop tactile senses. Manipulative skills, such as holding, squeezing, rattling, turning and throwing, are developed by playing with specially chosen toys.
We believe that contact with older children is mutually beneficial, so sometimes the babies join the toddlers.
Of course, the focus on each baby’s development in no way prevents the all important cuddles, love and fun!
