A home from home environment...
We understand that leaving your baby for the first time can feel daunting. That’s why our Baby Room is designed to feel warm, welcoming and reassuring – just like home.
Our experienced and highly qualified team includes a Room Leader, Nursery Nurses and an Apprentice, all of whom are confident and knowledgeable in meeting the needs of babies. We work closely with families to follow your baby’s home routine wherever possible, helping them to feel settled, secure and comfortable.
Many of our staff are parents themselves, so they truly understand the importance of gentle care, reassurance and consistency.
