Baby 3-12 Months

Poppins Baby Room strives to be a “home away from home”. We understand how hard it can be for parents to hand over the care of their baby for the first time. Our dedicated and experienced carers make this adjustment an easy one. We provide a personal level of attention and care to all babies in our care.

Prior to your child starting with us, carers and Managers will discuss with you your baby’s care plan. We will continue your routine from home. We will discuss all aspects of our care in great detail, accommodating any special request you may have. We maintain a high ratio of carers to babies. We provide care plans that detail your baby’s nutrition, sleeping, nappy changes, medical administration allowing you to monitor your baby’s routine closely. As your child grows and develops we will ensure that your baby’s routine changes with their needs. Babies in our care enjoy fun and exciting days that include art, water play, singing, art, messy play, sensorial play etc. 

Sleep Room Our baby room has a separate sleep room from their play room. The sleep room is the place where each child has their own individual cot. This room offer a soothing, calm, atmosphere where your baby may nap as they need it. The play room, in contrast, provides a colourful and stimulating environment, where there is a vast variety of age appropriate toys and equipment which will meet every baby’s overall developmental needs in a homely, cosy environment.

Wobbler Room

For a Wobbler, every day is a wonderful adventure and in Poppins we encourage “our” Wobblers to explore the world, while at the same time providing a safe and trusting environment. The primary challenge for children at this stage is to discover and explore the world around them using all their senses.

As a Wobbler, your child becomes more independent, here at Poppins we adapt the routine and curriculum to cater to their need. Their routines will become a little more structured, but will allow for rest periods. Our curriculum provides the stimulation and excitement necessary for a happy, healthy Wobbler to thrive. Although there is a structured curriculum, we believe that all learning and activities should be child led. Our staff continuously works very hard to build a bond and trust with each child to promote successful development and self-esteem.

We enjoy open communication with parents, we provide highly detailed Daily care plans for each child in our care as well as Developmental checklists to track your childs progress.

Toddler Room & Pre-School

The primary challenge for a child at this stage is to develop advanced communication skills and to explore social and behavioural boundaries. Poppins supports and facilitates this development by providing a more structured environment while at the same time encouraging each child to express his own personality through imaginative and creative play.

In the Toddler age group your child’s vocabulary will increase, your child will start to put sentences together instead of just words. At Poppins we constantly encourage language development through various fun activities. Our curriculum strives to challenge each individual child and to promote self-esteem, concentration and positive behaviour.
