The Baby Room

The baby room caters for 6 babies aged 6 months to 2 years. It is located on the first floor.

The facilities available allow the babies to be cared for in a comfortable, relaxed and homely environment. Babies are encouraged to make connections as they explore their world through touch, sight, sound, taste and smell. Activities and resources are provided to encourage sensory and physical exploration, language, imaginative and creativity expression. Planning for activities and resources is based around the six areas of Learning & development of the EYFS framework, which is flexible and tailored to meet the individual’s needs.

The room is arranged to encourage exploration and discovery with resources at low level so that babies can make their own choices and selection depending on age and stage of development. Treasure baskets of natural items and everyday objects are provided alongside the usual discovery toys. A cosy corner with cushions provides a relaxed area for children and staff to share the wide range and selection of age appropriate books.

A care plan is established for each child and this helps us to meet their individual needs and follow their parent’s wishes regarding feeding, sleeping, comfort routines etc. The use of a daily diary provides parents with a record of food intake, sleeps etc and also an insight into the baby’s progress and achievements.

Babies are cared for as individuals but also encouraged to join in daily routines appropriate to age and stage of development. This may be during mid morning/mid afternoon snack or a planned activity of music songs and rhyme, encouraging them to interact with others or respond to music and rhythm.

Each child is allocated to a ‘key person’ who will be supportive to that baby’s emotional well being. Observations, progress and development will be monitored and a profile based on the EYFS – six areas of Learning & Development framework made available to parents/carers in addition to information being shared on a daily basis.
