The Buchan and Raindrop Rooms cater for 8 babies from 6 weeks to 1 year.  The rooms are sunny, bright and warm with an up-to-date hygienic nappy changing area, and a quiet sleeping room with windows for the carers to observe the babies.

Apart from 2 hourly change of nappies or when necessary if required more frequently, we do not have a regular routine, as we find babies are individuals, and require to be treated as such.

The room is divided into active and quiet areas with windows at baby height, and various kinds of music are provided to suit the mood of the time.  Babies experience a rapid development in the first year, we therefore aim to encourage the children to experience the environment according to their ability.  We have a variety of toys, books, soft toys, an outdoor area, cushions, two swings and a baby slide.

A profile is kept on each child where we observe and record the development of skills.  Parents find these of great interest.
