The Nest (12 weeks - 2 years)

We understand this might be your child’s first venture into the world outside their family and this can be a challenging time for both children and parents/carers. We are here to support you and your child, making sure that the transition goes smoothly. It is extremely important that you feel happy leaving your child with us, knowing that they will be well cared for, stimulated and having a great time. 

The Nest boasts a warm and cosy atmosphere, we support a range of opportunities that will stimulate and challenge all children. Experiences that spark curiosity, develop language and lay the foundations for early physical skills are what we base our intentions upon. A factor we feel is vital in the environment is space. Space benefits children in so many ways, for the babies it allows them reach milestones, from early movements to taking their first steps.

​
You will be kept up to date with your child’s day through an online system, where we will add sleep times, meals and nappy changes. We share observations, highlights from your child’s day and  progress checks. This is a great way for us to communicate with families and we want you to be involved in the important moments of your child’s journey. As well as this, you are invited into the room to collect your child and have a chat with the practitioners.

The Nest have access to a small secure garden, with a sand pit, planters and sheltered grassed area for the babies to explore. We have invested in a ‘Kinderwagon’, which is a large pram for 6 babies to go out for a walk together! The Kinderwagon offers babies and young children the opportunity to be outdoors, whilst at the same time enjoy the social experience of being together.

 
Our separate sleep space, with soothing music, soft furnishings, and low level lighting is perfect for your baby to rest a while or sleep. It also had the addtion of a little sensory space for the babies to unwind in this relaxing environment.
