Our baby room is designed to stimulate and encourage development, with an array of toys and equipment to develop all senses. The ratio of staff to babies is 1 to 3 and our baby room can take up to nine babies. Your child’s home routine is continued in the early stages, before being gradually introduced to the nursery routine. A three-stage weaning menu is followed, using freshly prepared food which is provided by the nursery.
