Yes of course, many of our younger children start preschool in nappies. We have a separate area for children to be changed discreetly. When your child is ready to start potty training, let our staff know and they will be happy to help your child.
Do you provide snacks?
Milk and water is offered to all babies and preschool children who would like it. The Preschool Room provide a fruit snack for the children during the morning and afternoon sessions.
My baby is in a good sleep routine will they be able to continue this when they start the Baby Room?
Yes of course.
We believe that it is important for us to work closely with our children’s families to provide to best care for all our children. When your child starts we like to do a home visit to find out all about your childs routine, their likes and dislikes and all about their family life. We then use this information to help your child settle well.
The Baby Room keep a daily diary about your child that is sent home daily so you can see what they slept, eaten etc.
