Exciting New Baby Provision - Opening Spring 2026

Baby Room at Yarrells Nursery

Opening Spring 2026 – From 6 Months Old

We are excited to announce that Yarrells Nursery will be introducing a dedicated baby room in Spring 2026, welcoming children from 6 months of age. This new provision will offer a warm, nurturing and purpose-designed environment for our youngest learners and will operate on an all-year-round basis.

About the Baby Room

Our baby provision will begin with 6 places, gradually increasing to 9 places as the room becomes established. The space will be equipped with age-appropriate resources, a designated sleep area, and facilities to support feeding, nappy changing and early development.

Exciting times ahead at Yarrells! We are thrilled to share some wonderful news with you.  This Spring, Yarrells Nursery will be opening our brand-new Baby Unit, welcoming babies from 6 months of age into our caring, nurturing environment. 

What Makes Our Baby Unit Special? 

Our Baby Unit has been purpose-designed to provide the very best start for your little one: 

• We Follow YOUR Baby’s Routine: We understand that every baby is unique. Whether it’s feeding times, nap schedules, or play preferences, we work around your baby’s individual needs - not the other way around. 
• Settling-In Sessions: We know how important it is for both you and your baby to feel comfortable and confident. Our gentle settling-in sessions allow for a gradual introduction to our team and environment, ensuring everyone feels secure. 
• Home From Home Environment: We create a warm, nurturing atmosphere where your baby feels safe, secure, and loved. Our approach focuses on building strong relationships and providing responsive, attentive care. 
• Fully Qualified Practitioners: All our baby room staff hold Level 3 qualifications in Early Years, ensuring expert care and age-appropriate learning experiences. 
• Year-Round Care: We offer all-year-round provision with session options from 8:00am-3:30pm or 8:00am-6:00pm, supporting the needs of working families. A minimum booking of three days per week applies. 
• Beautiful Woodland Setting: Set within our stunning grounds in Poole, your baby will have access to safe outdoor spaces and exceptional facilities from day one. 
• Seamless Educational Journey: Starting in our Baby Unit means your child can continue their education at Yarrells through Nursery, Reception, and beyond, with smooth transitions and continuity of care. 

Be Part of Something Special 

There’s something truly wonderful about being part of a new beginning. Your baby could be one of our very first children, helping to shape the warm, welcoming community of our Baby Unit.  At Yarrells, we provide more than just childcare. Our experienced Early Years team creates enriching experiences through songs, stories, sensory play, and interactive activities that support early communication, emotional development, and cognitive growth. Your baby will be part of our extended school family from the very beginning.
