Baby Room - 6 weeks to 18 months

Your child will be one of a group of 12 children with 3 qualified, full-time, educators. We recognise that a single room, accommodating the developmental needs from 6 weeks to 18 months must not only be safe, but flexibly furnished and well resourced. Our maximum ratio of Babies to Staff is 1 staff member to every 4 babies.

We have implemented many strategies for enhancing open communication: the educators work opposite shifts so that you will always see someone from the Baby Room; through the daily communication sheet; daily written routine; the newsletter and through noticeboards. Our primary aim is to establish daily conversations with you at the beginning and end of the day so that we can share your child’s day with you.

In the Baby Room, we will follow your child’s natural sleep patterns and will seek information as to their sleeping preferences and habits, at enrolment time.

We encourage mothers to continue to breast feed and we will discuss with you, ways in which we can accommodate this (contacting you when your baby is hungry, providing a quiet space etc.). Please do not hesitate to discuss your needs with us.
