Babies

Our baby unit celebrates some of the very first milestones in your baby’s life — from crawlers to confident walkers. The unit is led by an experienced Room Leader and Co-ordinator who work closely together across the different age groups. As every child develops at their own pace, we are fortunate to have two dedicated rooms and one caring team, allowing us to meet each child’s individual developmental needs.

Our Baby Room Room Leader is:
Alishia – Level 3

Our baby unit is divided into two rooms where our babies love to explore using their senses through a wide variety of messy and sensory activities. The rooms are thoughtfully arranged with creative areas, soft play spaces, and lots of opportunities for free choice play.

Directly outside their gate is a small outdoor area which is opened at times during the day to encourage free-flow garden play. We also make use of a larger area in the main garden, perfect for trikes, push-alongs, and larger play equipment, giving babies space to move, explore, and build confidence.

The babies have a separate sleep room, which we keep calm, tranquil, and relaxing to support restful sleep.

Our vinyl-floored area allows children to really get messy and immerse themselves in sensory play such as water, sand, gloop, jelly and much more. Underfloor heating keeps the space cosy during the colder months, ensuring babies stay warm and comfortable as they roll, crawl, and explore.
