We are able to feed your baby expressed milk, formula milk supplied by you or you are welcome to come and breast feed your baby during the day. Feeding and sleeping are gently worked into a routine which suits your baby’s individual needs.

The babies benefit from a wide range of daily activities, indoors and outdoors, which includes socialising with other children and familiar adults and joining in with conversations and songs. There is plenty of space for physical play to kick and stretch, crawl and walk safely with toys specifically chosen to encourage movement. Interesting new objects are used to provide visual stimulation, such as treasure baskets, water and other materials used for creative play to develop senses. Fine motor skills, such as holding, squeezing, rattling, turning and throwing, are supported through a wide range of planned play experiences. Of course, the focus on each baby’s development in no way prevents the all-important cuddles, love and fun!
