Safe Sleep Reassurance

/in , , , , , ,
You may have seen the recent news sharing the best advice and updating requirements for safe sleeping for babies and young children, this has always been a priority at Flying Start Nurseries.
To help reassure you we just wanted to remind you that:
  • When babies go to bed we remove their outer clothing, jumpers and hoodies, bibs, dummy clips and anything too tight on their necks
  • We check the room temperature and make sure it is a comfortable temperature between 16-20 degrees
  • We place babies on their backs with their feet at the bottom of the cot
  • We allow the use of well fitting sleeping bags if parents want to supply them
  • We check their temperature, breathing, and general wellbeing regularly and record these checks
  • Older babies or children may sleep on a sleep mat, if so, they are constantly supervised by a qualified staff member
We are making a slight change to our procedure and will be resharing our policy with parents via the app, but to let you know, if babies under a year fall asleep on a walk we will always transfer them from the pram to a cot as it is safer. If children aged over 1 fall asleep in our prams, if possible we will lay the pram flat and remove/open outer clothing on their return to the setting closely supervising them sleeping.
We have made this watertight in our procedure and policy to make sure safe sleeping is always thought about!
If families need any advice or support, talk to baby staff in the nursery and take a look at The Lullaby Trust.

Flying Start @ Redruth All About Me

Our Day Nursery children at Redruth have been busy exploring their new theme – All About Me – alongside the lovely story “The Giraffe Who Found Its Spots.”

They’ve been welcoming new friends, learning to share and take turns, and diving into lots of sensory play. The animal-themed trays have been a huge hit – especially the sand tray!

 

 

Flying Start @ Redruth Make Their Own Farm

The Preschool children @ Flying Start Redruth have been learning about farm animals!
We discussed where milk comes from and milked our nursery cow! Our sound of the week was ‘f’ for farm, and we learnt lots of new vocabulary such as foal.
They also developed their fine motor skills by shearing a sheep with scissors.

Flying Start @ Redruth Grow Sunflowers

/in

The children at Flying Start Redruth have been busy looking after their very own sunflowers as part of our growing competition – and we’re so proud of how much care they’ve put in!

They’ve loved planting the seeds, watering them, and watching them grow bigger each week. Along the way, they’ve learnt all about what sunflowers need to grow – sunshine, water, and a little bit of patience!

Just look at some of these amazing sunflowers… we think the children have done an incredible job!
