Will you follow my baby's routine from home?

Yes. We aim to follow your baby's home routine as closely as possible, helping them experience consistency between home and childcare while they settle and grow.

Before your baby starts, we'll take the time to learn about their individual routine, including their sleep, feeding, comfort and care preferences. This helps our teachers provide familiar, responsive care that supports a smooth transition into childcare and helps your baby feel safe and secure.

As your baby grows, their routine will naturally change. We stay in regular communication with you to review and adjust their routine together, ensuring your baby's care continues to reflect their changing needs both at home and at the centre.
