Baby and Toddler

The Baby and Toddler room comprises of a spacious and bright open plan room with a variety of fundamental spaces to explore. Areas include a large, cosy den for children to develop their playful, schematic investigations, a house corner to enhance role-play, a construction area where early numeracy is evident, a large loose parts and heuristic area to encourage curiosity and a sand and water tray. As well as water, there are a number of malleable materials explored daily to enhance scientific investigation. The room has a soft, comfortable story corner where stories, singing and musical instruments are enjoyed. There is a climbing frame and tunnel where children can develop their gross motor skills. We have a separate sleep room, where children are supported by their care givers to sleep in cosy pods or on mats with children’s individual bedding. There is a separated bathroom and hygienic nappy changing area.

The Baby and Toddler Room provides:

  • A warm, nurturing and loving environment for all babies and young children to feel safe, secure and happy during their time at nursery.
  • Meaningful interactions and trusting relationships between caregivers and families in order to meet everyone’s needs.
  • A variety of daily sensory play experiences.
  • The freedom and confidence for children to make their own choices, surrounded by caregivers who understand the importance of respecting children’s rights.
  • Daily feedback with caregivers on how your child’s day has been, what they have explored and any further information.
  • Personal learning plans containing observations and photos of your child’s interests and development progress, documented by your child’s key person online through Blossom.
  • Opportunities for safe and fun learning experiences in the outdoor areas as well as outings around the community and further afield.
  • Encouragement in healthy eating habits as a social experience, with mealtimes viewed as a special interaction that staff and children take their time to enjoy.
  • A happy and energetic atmosphere which helps children feel stimulated.
