Babies: 6 months – 2 years

The same key carers will look after your baby each day on a 1:3 adult to child ratio. We will work with you to ensure that your little one’s time at Sunny Days follows your routine at home as closely as possible. We will also support and encourage them in meeting those precious milestones, such as crawling and learning to walk!

To welcome babies into the nursery, we offer a number of settling in sessions. Parents are invited to stay, or remain close by, to ensure their baby is comfortable and settled before leaving them.

Breakfast and snacks are included and we also supply water and formula milk (from brands including Hipp Organic, SMA and Cow & Gate) as well as cow’s milk and plant-based milk.

At Sunny Days, little ones spend their days with us learning through play.

Activities are carefully designed to engage children in fun and educational experiences that support their physical, emotional and cognitive development.

Nursery activities often include opportunities to play in our wonderful outdoor space with a play area for bikes and trikes, as well as a grassy stretch for exploring bugs and trees. We also make regular trips to the park and other local attractions.

We provide a variety of tabletop, floor and tuff tray activities that support children’s curiosity and exploratory skills – the children love messy, sensory play such as making play dough and having fun with slime!
