Caterpillars

0-18/24 Months
Our baby room is specifically designed for this young age, with bright colours, lights and soothing sounds as babies and young children enjoy and gain stimulation from this.
 
In this room children can make choices from a young age, children have access to resources that are on their level. The baby room is split into areas, we have a mathematics or construction area which has shape sorters, jigsaws, stacking cups, mega blocks stickle bricks etc, a role play area with a play kitchen and dolls where the children can begin modelling the adults in their lives this is a great way to learn through play and to develop pretend play, for example playing with the babies giving them a bottle or pouring a cup of tea etc.
We then have an area for younger babies which has a bouncer, play Gym, Bumbo and sensory toys for younger children so they can have lots of fun and explore.
We have baby sign sessions to support and encourage babies with their communication skills. 

This room is not a set age range is it dependent on the child's development progress, from 18 months onwards they have the opportunity to move through into the Ladybird room.
