Our Nursery
We provide a nurturing, learning environment for babies from 6 weeks to 24 months. Our focus is on creating individualised care by providing loving, nurturing caregivers who are responsive to the needs of each growing baby/infant. We provide for each stage in your infant's development - encouraging language acquisition, appropriate social interaction, and sound physical growth in a nurturing and multi-sensory environment. In our nursery we also recognise that infants from (12 - 24 months) are curious and want a safe environment in which to learn and explore. Our team concentrate on the developmental goals of this age as well as emphasize safety and security. Our environment is specially designed so children can explore and play together as they begin their understanding of the world around them.
Security, safety, love and learning – everything your baby needs. If you’re looking for a safe cozy “home away from home” for your infant we aim to provide a nurturing and creative experience. Our team will put your mind at ease as we understand about separation anxiety for both you and your infant. Our Nursery’s room leader is a experienced, senior ‘Enrolled Nurse’ providing you with the assurance there is an experienced, medically trained staff member on hand. Time is taken to meet with you and share you baby's unique individual likes/dislikes, rhythms for feeding/sleeping and playful interaction; this way we can mirror your patterns at home. A personal ‘what we’re doing’ schedule helps us meet your infants unique needs on a daily basis.
At Wakefield there will always be someone to cuddle, change, love, nurture, feed, hold, bed, teach and play with your baby throughout the day. When your baby is ready to learn, we setup a play plan including baby milestones and fun awareness skills to encourage curiosity and healthy development. We encourage your infant to learn, grow and discover at your infant’s own pace in a loving and safe nurturing environment.
Each baby will have a personalised portfolio to record and visually demonstrate to families the development of your baby. Your Portfolio will contain observations, photos, examples of your baby’s paintings and drawings, as well as regular dialogue of your child’s day at Wakefield. Your child’s portfolio is a collaborative journal, encouraging families input, thoughts, ideas and photos etc.
We also provide a ‘day sheet’ each day to inform you daily of child’s day, sleeping patterns, food intake, nappy changes, and amount of formula/breast milk consumed, to name a few. We also aim to provide a visual representation of your baby’s day with our visual slide show, and visual ‘Day Journal.’ Families in our care always comment on how well our team communicate their infant’s needs. At Wakefield we value each and every family member and our team is committed to getting to know each family on a personal basis.
