Our Rooms....

Baby Room - Nurturing Nest & Nook

Baby Nest is a room dedicated to children aged 3 months to 12 months within the room there is a calm relaxing space with a separate sleep area, a milk kitchen and a separate changing room. Baby Nook is the larger area which is dedicated to children age 12 months-24 months, this area is full of fun where children can explore and experience differentiated activities in accordance with the individual child.

In our Baby areas our main aim is to provide a safe warm caring environment for all our children where your child will receive lots of one to one play and cuddles. We provide good quality resources to stimulate your child’s senses. Babies enjoy a full day of play and fun with experienced staff. Staff plan activities around an individual Child’s interest and focus on the three prime areas of development which are Communication and Language, Personal Social and Emotional development and Physical development.

 Our staff are consistent and work in this room all the time to help to build relationships which helps to support the development of secure attachments with children. We offer a ‘key person’ approach, this we find helps a baby to settle knowing that a familiar adult is available, and evidence suggests that children who have secure attachments thrive. In our baby areas we provide disposable nappies and wipes or cotton wool.

Toddler Room - Busy Burrows

Busy Burrows is a warm homely room packed full of fun for children aged 24 months-32 months. In this room we provide equipment relevant to the age and stage of development of your child.

In this room we offer a quiet area where children can take rest periods and can access a range of books.

This is an extension of our indoor facilities offering opportunities and scope for children to learn in all areas in an environment that is natural and encompasses a range of learning opportunities. In our busy burrow room we continue to offer a ‘key person’ approach which gives children the feeling of security and confidence in their learning and development.
