Koala Room (0–2 Years)
Our Koala Room is designed for our youngest learners, where nurturing, comfort, and curiosity go hand in hand. In close collaboration with parents, we provide a caring and consistent environment that mirrors home routines, ensuring each baby feels safe, secure, and valued. Our flexible and individualised approach recognises that every baby develops at their own pace, and we aim to support them in exploring the world with confidence.

Learning Through Sensory Exploration
In the Koala Room, babies are encouraged to discover the world through their senses. They enjoy sensory tray filled with water, sand, textures, and safe, tactile materials, as well as light and music exploration. Early problem-solving and motor skills are supported through stacking, puzzles, blocks, and simple posting activities. Crayon scribbling and finger painting provide opportunities for creativity and early mark-making, laying the foundation for expressive skills.
Building Trust and Independence
A strong focus in the Baby Room is developing secure attachments and early self-awareness. Babies are gently supported to:
-
Explore their environment safely and confidently
-
Attempt new movements such as crawling, standing, and cruising
-
Engage with age-appropriate toys that foster hand-eye coordination
These experiences nurture curiosity, resilience, and the beginnings of independence in a safe and supportive space.
Social and Emotional Development
At this stage, social and emotional learning is vital. In the Koala Room, babies learn to:
-
Recognise familiar faces and form strong attachments
-
Respond to gentle interactions and facial expressions
-
Experience early turn-taking and shared play
Through warm, responsive care, we help each baby develop trust, empathy, and a sense of belonging.​
Physical Development and Movement
Gross and fine motor skills are encouraged through tummy time, crawling, walking practice, and manipulating toys and objects. Our safe, stimulating environment supports early coordination, balance, and exploration, helping babies gain confidence in their physical abilities.

In the Koala Room, we aim to create a nurturing and stimulating environment where babies feel loved, secure, and curious, ready to explore their world and develop a lifelong love of learning.
