Little explores are happy to accept babies and children in nappies. We will provide:
The changing mat will be wiped over with disinfectant between each use.
We will change your child regularly and immediately if they have soiled a nappy. Little Explorers believe that changing a nappy should provide lots of opportunities to communicate with your child, as their understanding grows. Nappy changing also provides opportunities to discuss basic hygiene issues, preparing them for potty training (examples of this can be found in the Birth to three matters framework).
When your child starts to show signs that they are becoming aware of their bodily functions we will arrange a convenient time to meet with you and discuss your plans on potty/toilet training your child. It is unusual for a child to be ready to be potty trained much before their second birthday and for some children it can be a lot later. Please do not be concerned if your child shows no signs of being ready yet. It is very important that we work together to potty train your child and pick a suitable time to do it, when we can both dedicate time. If we start the training and your child is not ready then we can stop and start again when they are. Some children take to potty training overnight for some it is a longer process, the most important thing is that we work together to give your child the support and reassurance they need during this period. We will provide you with daily feedback on how we are progressing with the training.
In order to help your child become independent in going to the toilet we can provide the following equipment:
Please let us know if you wish to discuss your child's potty training.
