This room is where our babies from three months are looked after with love, care and plenty of cuddles! The room provides plenty of interesting objects and activities for the babies to discover and explore. Babies enjoy music and movement along songs and stories as part of our daily routine. Babies engage in creative play using malleable materials, sand and water, texture experimentation, messy play and mark making using a range of different materials and are incorporated into each day. Treasure baskets are also enjoyed by all the babies. Our babies enjoy warm relationships with their key person who will feedback about your child’s day at nursery and you will also see photos of activities of their day via your child’s digital learning book.
