We pride ourselves in the exceptional Baby Stimulation Programme that we follow. The Smiley Kids Baby stimulation program was developed in 2002 and was developed in co-operation with an occupational therapist specializing in Baby Development. The main focus points are brain stimulation, development through daily exercises and baby massaging.
Daily report books are available to record nappy changes, feeding times, any medication to be administered as well as any notes regarding the well-being of the child. Progress reports are done at the end of each developmental age or phase and are made available for parents to view.
Hygiene, comfort and tender care are high priorities in the service we offer to our babies and parents! Surgical gloves and antibacterial spray are used when nappies are changed
