😴 Our Approach to Sleep
We follow the Lullaby Trust's safer sleep guidelines for all children in our care. Rest is an important part of a child's day, and we ensure every sleep is as safe as possible.
✅ What We Do
- Babies are always placed on their back to sleep (unless medically advised otherwise with written consent)
- Sleep areas are checked every 10 minutes
- We use firm, flat, waterproof mattresses with a fitted sheet only
- Sleep spaces are kept free from pillows, duvets, and soft toys
- The sleep room is kept at a comfortable temperature (16–20°C)
- Children are never left unobserved during sleep
👪 Working With Parents
We ask parents to share their child's sleep routine with us on registration so we can maintain consistency between home and nursery. Any medical or individual sleep requirements must be shared in writing with the nursery manager.
