Baby Care

Baby Learning Environment:

Because a baby learns primarily through physical and sensory exploration, their environment must allow them to investigate their bodies and their play space safely and comfortably. At Yellow Brick Road Nursery we give very close consideration to the organization of space and equipment, floor coverings, lighting, noise, softness, comfort and aesthetics.

Baby Facilities:

Our babies sleeping room is like no other, designed to feel as though you have just walked into your babies sleeping room at home. Each baby has their own cot, with their own bedding and in this calming and soothing environment the babies sleep peacefully.

Meal times are a very important time of day and we believe should be unhurried and relaxing in order to encourage positive eating routines. For this reason we have a very comfortable dining area for the babies, where they sit together and share their positive dining experiences with each other.

Baby Routine:

With help from the team of our fully qualified and DHA certified Nurses and baby room teachers, we create individual routines that best suits you and your baby, as we understand that one routine may not suit all infants. For parents who do not have a set routine in place for their baby, we can help adjust your baby into a routine that will make them feel secure, safe, and loved, in addition to sleeping straight throughout the night.

Sensory Play:

We are passionate about providing babies with interesting and stimulating sensory play experiences, that foster the connections being made in a baby's brain and which then lead to healthy cognitive development. We achieve this for example through messy play activities, which encourages sensory and tactile development.

Heuristic Play:

Heuristic play is used to describe play for babies, infants and toddlers that actively encourages exploration and discovery. Presented as a basket of natural resources babies are free to explore without interruption and make their own discoveries about their world, their bodies and senses, and about texture, shape and colour.

Creative Play:

At Yellow Brick Road Nursery we believe that creative play is about the "process not the product." We understand that for example the act of painting involves not only physical coordination but also important cognitive processes, so when painting we encourage babies to explore with different materials like big wide brushes, small thin brushes, rollers, large feathers, toothbrushes, large pieces of sponge and other exciting and interesting resources.
