Welcome to Dormice & Hedgehogs, a warm and caring environment
Our highly trained childcare providers
are passionate about their work. They enjoy getting messy with the babies and encourage them to take part in all activities throughout the day. However, there may be times when babies require some quiet ‘me time’ and that’s ok too. We provide cosy areas where babies can enjoy discovering books and sensory toys at a tranquil pace supported by their key person. Our rooms offer a warm and colourful feel, providing fun and exciting art and messy play activities. We have a role play area and a cosy area with age-appropriate tables and chairs to meet your baby’s needs enabling them to explore a range of opportunities.
Outstanding Childcare Professionals
We strive to deliver the best care and development into your baby’s lives. Our staff follows daily routines to provide continuity which ensures babies feel comfortable and well-settled. We are also happy to accommodate any particular changes tailored to baby’s and their family’s specific requirements.
Our main focus is baby's emotional development, particularly supporting them in focusing a warm and secure bond and attachment to their key person. When babies feel safe & comfortable, they start their journey of exploration, to fulfil their learning potential.
Sensory exploration is the key feature of all the babies’ learning. We provide an extensive range of heuristic resources to enable the use of all senses when exploring their surroundings, but also to promote communication, language and gross motor skills.
Targeted resources and activities such as music and movement sessions, messy play and art activities stimulates baby’s cognitive skills and improves physical development. Learning and development is not only confined to the room, but our outdoor space also provides a safe and secure learning environment for our little explorers to quench their curiosity.
TESTIMONIALS
Hi anca,
I wanted to email to let you know how amazing and helpful kaley has been since Cole has moved up to rabbits. She is very helpful and I can tell really cares about Cole and how he does at nursery. I have always felt comfortable sending Cole to your nursery, but feel even happier to know he is thriving and enjoying himself so much, especially more so now. He has had troubles with his speech and food during lockdown, but kaley has really helped him with this problem and he seems back on track now.
I just wanted to thank you and make you aware of how much I appreciate her.
Thank you
