No: EYFS3-03-051 Issue: Nov 2019  \nIntroduction  \nFor many parents, the idea of putting their baby into nursery can be a daunting process, it may even be one that draws feelings of guilt as a return to work is necessary  \nFinding suitable childcare is a challenge. Parents would have put a lot of research into the right setting for their child, based on their financial situation, working arrangements, quality of education and service provided. It's not a decision taken lightly and one that the chosen provider shouldn't take for granted.  \nThere are lots of benefits to a baby starting nursery at a young age. Developing crucial social skills such as turn taking, interacting with other adults and children, resilience and self regulation can be learnt and practised in a childcare setting.  \nAt NC Nurseries, we offer play resources that may not be available at home. Childcare fee's are ever increasing so let's offer a new approach to education, such as exploring loose parts and curious items which captures children's imagination. This type of play becomes more purposeful as it encourages creative thinking and is open ended, far more than a plastic kettle could ever be.  \nDuring a babies first year, their brain is developing at an amazing rate. As educators and the babies secondary carer, it is our responsibility to ensure we give the best possible experiences and opportunities for their brains to grow, develop and create new synapses (connections) . A child who is not engaged in an activity means their brain is not growing, no new synapses are being formed and therefore the brain will start' pruning' weak connections.  \n\" Parents pay a lot of money for high quality childcare\"  \nWith our love of early years, passion and individualised care, we can make a real difference in these babies life. We are building the foundation of their brain, everything you teach them will be carried on throughout their life, being added to and strengthened.  \nThis booklet is to celebrate a portion of your duties, as we all know working in childcare doesn't stop with the child, but it's a pretty amazing place to start  \nThroughout this booklet, there are QR codes which lead to videos and other materials which may be of interest. Simply scan the black and white coded image above with your phone camera and it will give you the option to go to the website. Like magic!  \n2  \n© Natural Choice Nurseries Ltd Doc. No: EYFS3-03-051 Issue: Nov 2019  \nneeds  \nAn experienced practitioner knows that different aged babies have various needs which quite often differ to another baby. A one sized fits all approach will not work and being flexible to a demanding baby is a must.  \nHome routine  \nIt is very important for the baby to stick to their home routine to ensure consistency. Sometimes this routine may differ from the nursery routine, and we need to be flexible with this, such as giving a weaning baby, their lunch at 11:30 before they go to bed at 12. These times will slowly change to suit the nursery routine. Be aware that any changes to sleep/ feeds will have a knock on effect at home.  \nFluids  \nA child under one still relies on formula or breastmilk to keep them hydrated. Tap water can be given after 6 months old, ","cbCaiaWAqeXDCx3X","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaWAqeXDCx3X","pdf",11207284,16,"English","# Introduction\n# Needs\n## Home routine\n## Fluids\n## Sleep patterns\n## Communication\n## Importance of play\n## Colic / Reflux\n## Safeguarding\n# Attachment\n# Communication\n# Stages of language development\n# Stages of physical development\n# Weaning / Bottles\n# Preparing powdered formula\n# Environment\n## Outdoor environment\n# Observations\n# Further reading","[{\"question\":\"What is the booklet designed to support for practitioners?\",\"answer\":\"It complements mandatory baby room training (EYFS 3.31) to continue professional development.
