Baby Room
The Babies in our care will be treated as individuals and as far as possible will follow the same routines they have at home.  Our experienced staff will keep careful records of each child’s day and will note any important developments which will then be passed on to the Parents.
Weather permitting, babies will be taking out every day for walks in prams.
We will encourage the Babies to experience different stimuli in the form of natural textures etc.
Toddler Room
Once the babies start outgrowing the Baby Room we will be gradually introduced to the Toddler Room where they will begin a new program of activities which will include baking, sand play, crafts, singing and stories.
As in the Baby Room staff will continue to monitor progress and observe interests.
Junior Room
Children will be guided through an interesting and varied day where they are encouraged to make choices and develop their own personalities.
Staff will ensure a regular rotation of toys, jigsaws etc, as well as introducing planned themes for craft activities.
They will receive the benefit of regular outdoor play (weather permitting), free play in the home corner, baking, story time and singing.
Staff will help children to learn basic social skills such as considering others, sharing, good manners and taking turns.
