Baby Zone - a guide for parents

Introduction

Baby Zone is located in the Creche room. Baby Zone is an integral part of Trinity Zone and is for children from 3months old until 3 years old.

Sign in

Please sign your child into Baby Zone each week. Children must be collected by a parent/guardian at the end of morning worship. A child will not be allowed to be collected by a sibling.

Nappy Changing

If a child should need changed during their time in Baby Zone, then the parent will be contacted to do this. For child protection reasons leaders and helpers will not change nappies.

Snacks/Food

We have a policy that no food/snacks should be brought into Baby Zone, by you or your child, with the exception of a bottle/cup of milk. This is due to allergies which may exist. It is a parent's responsibility to inform the leaders of any allergies as the leaders may provide a healthy snack for the children. Under no circumstances are nuts of any form to be in the Baby Zone room even in a child's bag.

Accidents/incidents

Parents will be informed immediately of all head injuries, no matter how small. Other injuries/incidents will be reported to a parent on collection of their child, unless it is deemed necessary to inform the parent sooner than this. Accidents should be recorded by the Baby Zone leader in the church accident book.

Child Protection

All volunteers in Baby Zone will be ACCESSNI checked. Baby Zone follows the child protection policy of Trinity Methodist Church.

Fire

In the event of a fire children in Baby Zone will be taken to the designated assembly point. Parents should collect their children from there. If such an event occurs, please do not attempt to come to the creche through the building. The children will leave through their own fire door promptly and this will delay you from collecting your child.

Special needs

Please inform the Creche leader of any information that you feel they may need to know about your child. This may range from asthma to other conditions, which your child may have. Children with special needs are welcome in the Creche.

Toys

The Creche now has a wide range of toys from play gyms and rattles, car tracks and bricks, to play dough and colouring in books. There is a range of equipment suitable for children from young babies up to three years old.

The toys are cleaned regularly with anti-bacterial wipes to prevent a build up of germs. Toys are regularly checked and broken toys thrown away. If you have any toys, which your own children have grown out of and are still in good condition, please feel free to donate these to the Creche.

We have given a brief outline here of our facilities for your information and use - please do take time to read these. If you have any issues or concerns please contact Julie Dougherty on (028) 92 651498.
