Rooms
​Sunshines
Sunshines room is the first step in nursery for your baby aged 3-12 months. We aim to provide a safe, secure and stimulating environment for you and your baby. Babies are cared for on a ratio of 1 adult to every 3 babies.
We place emphasis on individual care, combined with security and comfort, to promote your baby’s development.
This is a big step for you and your child. In our team we aim to make this transition from home to nursery run as smoothly as possible for you and your child.
By doing settling visits over the period of a month your
child will form attachments to the staff which will make
it easier for you to leave them.
During these visits we will discuss with you your child’s
routine at home, their likes and dislikes and any other
requirements they may have. The more the staff know
about your child the easier it will be for them to help make
your child feel safe and secure at nursery. We have a very
loving team who strive to do the best for each child.
