Blossoms (Babies Room)
We have a spacious, stimulating, homely and tranquil baby unit with a wide range of traditional, modern and natural toys that enable unlimited learning and play opportunities. Hanging mobiles and wall pictures offer stimulus for the eye, and music, singing and talk are sounds to be heard throughout the day.
Our baby/toddler unit is self-contained, with two nappy changing areas, its own kitchen for preparing and storing milk, baby meals and drinks. The Blossoms children have direct access, through two entrances to their own soft surface area, and garden/fairy garden, which offers a variety of both physical and sensory experiences. There are plenty of opportunities for free movement and to explore an array of activities both indoors and outdoors, along with a cosy Kasbah den, inviting garden area and plenty of messy play.
At our recent Inspection (January 2022), Ofsted said….
"Highly skilled"
"Staff are highly skilled in engaging with the children”
"Notice their smiles"
"Staff treat the children with sincere kindness and support them to consider each other's feelings’ …’The youngest children learn to look into the mirror and notice their smiles”.
"In the moment"
Opportunities and experiences happen in the moment and staff use their knowledge about each child to support their development, based on the ‘Early Years Foundation Stage’
Our staff are very experienced and trained in caring and planning for babies' individual development needs, to ensure that each child has appropriate learning opportunities. At all times the babies are aware that they are in a safe and warm environment where they will receive plenty of attention, nurturing and care.
