Our Rooms
Gumnut Room (0–12 Months)
We understand that the earliest months of a child’s life lay the foundation for their growth and development. Our nurturing environment in the Gumnut Room is designed to support your baby’s emotional, physical, and cognitive needs, fostering their natural curiosity as they begin to explore the world.
Program and Benefits
The Gumnut Room program is tailored to meet each child’s unique needs, offering experiences that encourage development at their own pace. Key focus areas include:
Social Development
Early interactions, including eye contact and shared attention, introduce your child to the basics of communication and relationships.
Sensory Development
Babies engage with a variety of textures, sounds, and sights to enhance their understanding of the world.
Gross Motor Skills
From tummy time to crawling, your child’s growing strength and coordination are supported through safe and stimulating activities.
Language Skills
Stories, songs, and conversations enrich your baby’s exposure to language, forming the foundation for future communication.
The Gumnut Room is designed to support your baby’s exploration and development in a safe, sensory-rich space. Soft play mats, textured toys, and interactive resources promote movement and engagement, while cosy corners offer a peaceful retreat for rest and naps. The environment balances stimulation with comfort, adapting to each child’s developmental needs and preferences.
Our educators build trusting, responsive relationships with each child, creating a secure and nurturing environment. Through gentle interactions—such as soothing words, eye contact, and physical comfort—they address your baby’s needs, fostering emotional security and confidence for optimal learning and growth.
We value open communication with parents, providing daily updates on feeding, sleep, and activities. Your insights into your child’s preferences and routine help us tailor our care to their needs, ensuring consistency between home and centre.
