Baby Room – 3 months to 20 months
Our Aims
We want all our babies and toddlers to feel settled and happy. Our experienced team provide a safe world, rich with opportunities to actively explore, with books, songs, and a lot of listening and responding to children’s vocalisations and words. We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) profile to help track each child’s development.
Our Methods
Five To Thrive Initiative
With our younger babies and toddlers, we follow the ‘Five to Thrive’ initiative which supports the children’s holistic development by giving them time to respond, have cuddles, relax, play and talk. Quality interactions are key for every child’s wellbeing, so we promote language and communication through a range of activities linked to the I CAN ‘Baby Babbling’ speech, language and communications programme, Elkan, and the ‘Let’s Talk With Your Baby’ scheme.
Sensory Awareness
Our indoor environment offers a range of sensory based activities. We provide a variety of materials to enhance each child’s development and support their fine motor skills. The children are also encouraged to use our outdoor sheltered decked area, where they investigate and explore. The Babies also benefit from some lovely baby yoga classes and we have also introduced Makaton; a visual and tactile means to express thoughts, needs, and feelings.
