Baban Bach – for babies up to 18 months

Baban Bach are babies up to approximately 18months but that can be flexible depending on the age your child starts walking, at which age they transition to Baban Mawr in Cabin Cwtch next door. They have their own area called the Snug and sleep in a cot adjacent to the Snug. The Snug looks out onto the decking are where they can play out in the fresh air and is adjacent to the younger toddlers. This allows the children to see what the older children are doing without leaving the security of their own environment

We fully appreciate that at this age children are constantly changing their eating and sleeping patterns and will discuss our timings as they grow so you can start to prepare your child for those changes before they join us.

The play area- here the children are encouraged to meet their own individual milestones through activities carried out by our practitioners.  The activities are planned weekly and monitored by the team leader who makes sure that the babies are having lots of fun whilst they develop. Your child’s weekly plans are displayed within the baby room for you to see what he/she is going to be doing.

We encourage our babies to become involved in messy play as early as possible so that they can get used to exploring different types of textures. By using things such as edible paint, edible play dough and rice pudding we can give the babies a real sensory experience without having to worry about goes in their mouths as it is all completely safe. This area is also where the babies have their meals, we believe that babies shouldn’t be moved up and downstairs for safety reasons, so they have their own space right next to their playroom to enjoy their food
