Nursery

We welcome babies from 12 weeks old to our Nursery. Each child will have their own primary caregiver who will establish

a trusting, responsive relationship with your child. Children in the Nursery spend a large portion of their day in routines

such as saying hello or good-bye, getting dressed, diapering, toileting and mealtime. Our child-care environment reflects

these important shared learning times, and hugs and cuddles are a big part of their day.

Infants are cared for and nurtured by our professional staff in their own private and personal environment filled with

colour and stimulation to meet the needs of their development. Caregivers provide support to infants throughout the day

with a balanced routine and are alert to babies’ cues. The environment is set up to foster infants’ physical, sensory,

social, emotional and intellectual development.

Mobile infants and toddlers have a need for uncluttered and open spaces to allow them confidently to practise their

developing skills unhindered. Our children have their own indoor and outdoor areas with age specific toys and activities.

This ensures them the freedom to explore and interact with teachers and the environment with no interference from

older children.

We show respect towards infants and toddlers by inviting them for a nappy change and talking to them about what we

will be doing with them before picking them up when changing children, we focus fully on them and engage them in the

routine by talking about what is happening, rather than trying to distract them with other things. Everything we do with

a child is respectful and should be a pleasure.
