Sleep Time
Sleep and rest/jelly times are another daily routine for the children at our Centre. Please discuss your child’s current sleep patterns with their caregiver.
Jelly Time
Children are encouraged to rest from about 12.00 noon to 2.00 p.m. by the use of relaxation, orchestral symphony and story tapes. Younger children will need to sleep, others will relax. The older children in the Rainbow Room after the initial relaxation/jelly period will carry on with activities. All children asleep will be awoken from 2.00 p.m.
Children’s sleep patterns may be different at the Centre to home due to the physical activity of the morning programme. Children from the Balloon Room who have individual sleep times occupy cots in the cot rooms as required.
Camera surveillance - the 3 cot rooms in the 0 - 2 years care area have a audio/video system which scrolls through the rooms allowing staff to view the children at rest times. Staff also physically check sleeping children.
