At Apples and Cherries Day Nursery, our Baby Room is a warm, homely environment where your baby can play, explore, rest and sleep.
At this age, interactions and communication are really important to support your baby’s development. Our staff devote uninterrupted time to play with, talk to and sing to your baby to ensure they feel content and to encourage their language development.
Creative play and sensory play in a stimulating environment are also important and contribute to your baby’s early learning experiences. Babies grow and develop rapidly during their first year, and as they become more mobile, physical play is also encouraged.
Our Baby Room has:
- A cosy area for children to relax in
- Treasure baskets
- A baby-friendly book and puppet area
- A size appropriate role play resources
- Access to messy play opportunities
- A space for children to move and dance with musical instruments
- Great access to an individual outdoor space for babies
The Role of the Key Person
Babies need close, loving relationships with adults so that they feel safe and secure. Your baby will be assigned a Key Person whose responsibility is to take special care of your baby and ensure they feel comfortable and secure away from home. They will ensure that your baby’s daily routines are consistent with your timings and home routine and that nappy changing, feeding and settling to sleep are opportunities for one-to-one time.
Our nappy changing is located in the room for easy access for our team to support the health and wellbeing of your child. Children are fed either individually or in small sociable groups.
