Tiny Buds Room

Our bright and spacious Baby Room caters for babies aged between 3 months and 12 months (approximate) and is tailored to meet each child’s individual needs.

The room enables mobile and non-mobile babies to explore different activities for their age and stage of development.

Our Baby Room has a self-contained milk kitchen where the staff can prepare feeds and meals and bottles are labelled and stored in our fridge until they are required.

Our babies are stimulated by our vast range of toys which are all age/stage appropriate and sensory activities are introduced to develop those eager little minds.

Your baby’s daily routine will be discussed with you on our settling in the programme and will be followed until your child reaches an age where our routine can be adapted.

Your child will be assigned to a certain member of staff within the room (key-worker) who is responsible for recording your baby’s development and who you can liaise with on a daily basis. A detailed report is given to you at the end of each day which records everything you need to know about your baby’s day such as foods they have eaten, sleep-times, play activities, nappy changes etc.

The staff plan suitable age stage appropriate activities for the children in accordance with the early year’s foundation stage (EYFS). We use a large planning system that involves the next steps which help us to plan for each child’s individual needs and interests. The children are given the opportunity to participate in all activities planned throughout the day and will have staff assistants and support throughout them.

The staff will play an important role during the children’s learning play and development and provide the children with a fun trusting relationship whilst they interact with them, talking to them, cuddling them, laughing singing and simple facial features. The head of room in this room has a wide knowledge of the EYFS framework, and also attended many courses on child’s learning and play through sensory experiences, so she is always happy to help with any queries or planning of activities you would like to do at home.

Babies are given a nutritious balanced diet which is all cooked daily on-site by our nursery chef. Younger babies are catered for as they are given puréed fruit/veg before they are introduced to meats and other food substances.
