Our Panda Room is led by Grace. In our Panda Room, we recognise the importance of early attachments. We promote positive and trusting relationships with our babies and parents/carers through our Key Person approach. Each family is offered a Home Visit before starting to meet their Key Person to support settling in, as well as gain a shared understanding of each child’s individual needs and interests. Our Panda Room team will communicate information about their Key Children’s day using our online ‘Dayshare’ diary, accessible to all parents on our Parenta App. Our Panda Room team will regularly observe their Key Children in their play and support learning, recording observations using our online Footsteps observation platform and upload for parents and carers.

Our Panda Room provides a nurturing and enabling environment through baby led play. Our day consists of lots of enjoyable sensory exploration as this promotes early brain development, as well as our babies having fun as they enjoy getting messy and using their senses to explore. Examples of our sensory and malleable activities include shaving foam, body painting, sand, water, rice, play-dough, corn flakes.
