For children aged 0-2 years


Staffing ratios of 1:3 will be provided for babies, according to Ofsted standards.  Each baby is treated as an individual and the routine is adapted to suit his/her needs.

The staff are fully experienced in caring for children of this age and will provide a variety of stimulating play experiences.  Each day we will record what your child has had to eat and drink,their sleep pattern, nappy changes and activities etc.

We will be working with the Birth to Three Framework which provides children with opportunities to broaden their learning abilities.

How the Framework is Organised

The Framework identifies four aspects which celebrate the skill and competence of babies and young children, and highlights the inter-relationship between growth, learning, development and the environment in which they are cared for and educated.

The four aspects are:

*  A strong child.
*  A Skillful Communicator.
*  A competent learner.
*  A healthy child.

The Framework underpins the following principles:

*  Parents and families are central to the well-being of the child.
*  Relationships with other people (both adults and children) are of crucial importance in  
    a child's life.
*  A relationship with a key person at home and in the setting is essential to young
    children's well-being.
*  Babies and young children are social beings - they are competent learners from birth.
*  Learning is a shared process and children learn most effectively when, with the
   support of a knowledgeable and trusted adult, they are actively  involved and
   interested.
