Cherry Buds
3 months - 2 years
Our youngest children will be cared for by fully qualified Early Years Practitioners, specially selected for their
experience and knowledge in baby care as well as their warm and friendly nature, in our lovely bright baby room.
The area will be a home from home for babies, helping parents rest assured their child is being cared for in a safe and
secure environment, at a ratio of 1:3.
The room is carefully divided to provide your child with stimulating areas for play and exploration, as well as a calm,
secure area for them to rest. We will encourage heuristic play with black and white areas, specialised sensory equipment
and safe soft furnishings so that babies can move freely. All children will also have daily access to our fully enclosed
garden.
All equipment, changing areas, toys and highchairs will be sterilised and disinfected throughout the day.
Our Practitioners will wear soft indoor shoes as no outdoor shoes will be permitted in the Baby Room.
Parents will be asked to supply breastmilk or formula for their child in a named bottle, as well as nappies, cream,
wet wipes and teething gel. Parents will be able to view their child’s diary via our learning journey app, including
nap times, feeding and nappy changing information.
Working together with parents, we will slowly introduce a wide range of solid foods to your child, all freshly prepared
on the premises and including the essential 5 a day fruit and vegetables.
We will introduce a gentle transitioning period into our Toddler Room once your child is ready to begin their next
stage of learning.
