Our Babyroom caters to children aged 3-12 months with dedicated caregivers and age-appropriate resources. The environment prioritises safety and sensory development through gentle play activities, rest areas, and individualised routines. Staff work closely with parents to maintain consistent sleep and feeding schedules while introducing early communication techniques.
