All children are given the opportunity to sleep/rest at the centre. Some young children will sleep; others who have outgrown their day sleep will be encouraged to rest, read, play quiet games or construct puzzles.
Parent/ guardian requests about their child’s sleep patterns will be adhered to, as far as possible. Please remember that in group care there are many distractions and children’s sleep patterns may vary slightly from their sleep pattern at home. Baby’s sleeps are according to need and routine. Our educators will meet babies individual sleep requirements. At no time will a child at the centre be forced to take a sleep. If parents/guardians are experiencing difficulties with their child not sleeping at night, please feel welcome to discuss this with the room educators.
