Older baby room (around 16 months to 24 months)

 

Our Older Baby Lounge

Our Older baby Lounge (Little Acorn) is a safe, nurturing, natural environment providing lots of opportunities for our little ones to explore, learn and reach milestones. By participating in lots of sensory activities such as loose part play in our heuristic area and messy activities to explore using our sences such as courflour play, a range of food play, sand / water play just to name a few.

We follow the care plans of each individual child in our care, which incorporate a  home from home transition, Our Older baby lounge has an inviting little stroy area where we introduce Stories, Nursery Rhymes & our babbling babies/ Talking Tots communication groups. The Older Babies have sleep mats that allow our little ones to regulate their sleep and nap times throughout the day, Children become less resistant to rest when the confines of cot bars are gone.

 A Daily diary will be given to each child when starting in our older baby lounge. These provide daily communication between the parents and the room staff including information such as Activities,

food intake, nappy changes and sleeps throughout the day.

Staff ratio is 1 adult to 3 children, for children from around 16 months – 2 years. Children will form close bonds with their key person during their care. Babies have the opportunity to explore the garden daily and go for walks in the local environment. They also have the opportunity to spend time with older children, as a family environment would be. Making friends and forming bonds while learning using their senses.

This is an amazing nursery.after getting off to a bad start with another nursery we were very hesitant about letting him try another.but i can't praise everyone at playdats academy enough for eveything they have done to settle our son in.he loves it here and even with his lack of communication skills they have been fabulous.he now knows some makaton (we are also learning with him).staff are amazing,friendly,patient and so nurturing to the children.and the revamp looks amazing with such a home from home feel. this nursery definatly puts the childrens needs and individuality as their first priority.

A lovely fresh and bright new nursery set on the edge of the Leicestershire countryside.The children are stimulated and educated through play and the outdoors whatever the weather. It has a lovely "home from home" feel, with friendly staff who treasure your little one as much as you do.

I wasnt sure how my "clingy" 1 year old would adapt to nursery but now she waves us off and cant wait to go! Everyone is so understanding of all the children and have really bought my girl out of her shell. She loves mixing with other children now, Although she doesn't need to be in nursery i am so glad i decided to let her as she seems to be learning a lot more and becoming very talkative!
