'Pips' - Our Baby Unit

enjoying being outdoors
Our little Pips are looked after in a bright, spacious room with large windows and direct access to the outside area. There are both vinyl and carpeted areas in this room which can be organised to take into account that there are both mobile and non mobile babies. Dividers are used to ensure the youngest children have a safe and secure environment to explore and that those on the move can do so freely. There is a separate curtained sleep area as well as a milk kitchen and baby change room. The room also interconnects with the Buds room to allow the rising 2 year olds the opportunity to choose when they are ready to move up to the next room.
Attentive care and nurturing is vital at this young age and babies also benefit from engagement with adults, other children and the physical environment. We have lots of low level toys and activities designed to stimulate babies and allow for self-selection, giving them the opportunity to explore and in a safe and secure environment.

Baby Food/Bottles

Parents provide meals and bottles for their baby which are stored in named containers in the milk kitchen, and heated as required using appropriate methods.

Changing
We have a separate changing area. Babies nappies are changed according to their individual needs and we ask parents to provide a named changing bag with sufficient nappies, wipes and changes of clothes.
