Ickle Beginners (Babies)

We are registered to care for babies from 3 months upwards.

Our baby room is calm, warm and stimulating, filled with plenty of toys and activities to keep babies entertained. Our main focus is on helping your baby to develop and learn through play.

There is a soft play corner to encourage babies to roll-around freely, which is particularly good for babies learning to sit and stand for the very first time. There are plenty of mirrors, noisy things and squishy things for baby to discover, with the emphasis on the touchy-feely side of play. Babies will have great fun delving in to our treasure basket and finding new and exciting things to play with.

We have a separate baby sleeping section, and all babies will have their own cot bedding and blankets, washed daily and stored in their own bags. Please feel free to provide a blanket from home for additional reassurance.

We ask all visitors to remove or cover their shoes in our baby room for hygiene purposes.

We also have a separate nappy changing area for those frequent nappy changes!

There is also a separate milk fridge and preparation area. We do request that parents provide pre-prepared formula milk, nappies, wipes and any barrier creams if required.

Parents/carers of babies will receive a contact book specifically designed for the babies in our Nursery, so you can see a daily record of feeding, sleeping and changing patterns as well as activities that your baby has enjoyed. There is also an area for feedback from you on a daily basis.

Upon joining our Baby Room your baby will be allocated a member of staff to be their Keyworker. They will work with you to ensure continuation of routines and patterns from home to integrate your babies' needs as much as possible.

See you soon
