The Baby room is designed for our children aged from 6 weeks. As you enter the room there is an immediate homely feel. Our experienced senior Niki leads the team which works closely with parents right from the first meeting, paying great attention to detail ensuring that the settling of the child is a smooth transition.

 

Parents and carers receive a warm welcome to the nursery and are allocated a named staff member (Key worker) who then becomes responsible for planning and record keeping for their child. Working together and sharing information is at the heart of our philosophy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Activities are planned, using South Lanarkshire's Together we can document, to follow the childrens development and interests at the time and are displayed for parents to see on the notice board

 

 

Simple activities such as painting, water play, chasing bubbles, action songs, mirror play, treasure basket and sharing a story are firm favourites at this stage. As they get a little older heuristic play, climbing, circle games, construction, jigsaws, IT and computers are added.

 

Parents are asked for a 'day in the life' of their child when they settle in the baby room. This allows the staff to ensure the child is cared for in the same way as they are at home. Children's routines can be followed throughout the day with cots, prams, bouncy chairs or mats, cushions and blankets available should they need to rest at any time.
