Daisies
Babies, 3 months to 14 months
Bright and airy. A cosy home-from-home feel.
Daisies is our baby room. Ratio 1:3. Every baby has a key person, allocated either by the child or for other reasons (such as additional needs). Mealtimes are managed carefully, considering each baby’s ability to sit and feed themselves. All bottles are sterilised; formula is made fresh each feed; breast milk is labelled and stored in the fridge.
Sensory exploration
Sensory play through textures, sounds, tastes and sights. Messy play with safe, edible materials. Babies are encouraged to recognise pictures, animals and people. Soft play apparatus supports large motor movements: sitting unaided, crawling, walking.
Relationships are built through respectful handling, eye contact, mirroring, and interactive games like peekaboo. Songs and rhymes with actions are a daily fixture. Outdoor play and a secure floor space indoors.
Sensory play resources, books, soft toys, soft play, sand and water.
