Baby & Pre Toddler Rooms

We have airy ground floor Baby Rooms. We operate with a minimum of 1 member of staff to 3 Babies. We have a dedicated sleep room separate from the main room where each Baby sleeps in a specifically designed bunk cot. We have on-site laundry facilities and provide clean bedding every day. Our in-house Chefs prepare fresh meals every day including a wide range of vegetable and fruit purees. We fully support breast feeding mothers and will always work with you to ensure the best possible care for your child. In line with OFSTED Guidance our Babies can go outside each day to ensure that they get regular fresh air and exposure to a range of different stimuli. Our Babies have daily access to our shaded garden with a variety of activities to explore. We are take the babies out each day in our nursery baby buggies.

Settling-In: We offer up to 6 settling-in sessions over a 2 week period and at different times of a day. We start with a 1 hour session and gradually build this up to a 3 hour session over the 2 weeks. After this your child joins the Nursery on a regular basis.  We recognise that this is a big step and understand that all children are different. As such we base the children’s transition and settling-in around each child’s individual needs. We will discuss and agree the best plan for your Baby with you during your enrolment.

Key Workers: On joining My Sunshine Day Nursery your Baby will be allocated a Key Worker. This decision can be based as much on who it is that your child forms a natural bond with during their settling-in sessions.

Famly® – our Nursery Communication App: All Pre-Schoolers will have daily communication notes available to you as parents through our Nursery software programme called Famly®. Through Famly® we document your child’s Learning Journey and detail all the information your child’s day at Nursery including Toileting, Meals, and Sleep as well as any comments on how they have been throughout their day. We encourage parents to also to download and use the Famly® app on a daily basis as a form of communication with our team at the Nursery. Famly® allows you to add your own notes and comments to your child’s key worker regarding any changes in your Child’s routine.

Early Years Foundation: Our Baby Room welcomes babies from 3 months. We follow the Birth to Five Matters Early Years Foundation Stage (visit https://birthto5matters.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Birthto5Matters-download.pdf ) for all children and we monitor each child’s learning and development progress throughout their time at Nursery. We plan individual activities for all children and develop “next steps” based on the observations made by the Baby Room staff. We will always ensure that all Babies are provided with a wide range of interesting activities and experiences to build upon their development in all areas of learning.

Extra-Curricular: We provide a wide variety of extra-curricular activities each week to provide your child with additional fun-based learning and development activities.
