Infant Daycare in Gurgaon: Care for Babies Under One Year

Which centres take infants

Among the centres listed on SchoolCove, Ipsaa in Sector 51 takes babies from four months, and KLAY in Malibu Town and both Apple Blossom branches take children from six months. Always confirm the minimum age for the month you plan to start.

Ratios come first

Babies need a lot of adult attention. Ask exactly how many babies each caregiver looks after. Ipsaa, for example, publishes a ratio of one mentor to three children for ages six months to one year. Fewer babies per adult is better.

Sleep and feeding

• A separate, quiet sleep room with one cot per baby
• Babies placed on their backs to sleep, with nothing loose in the cot
• A fridge and warming facilities for expressed milk or formula
• A log of feeds, naps and nappy changes shared with you daily
• A private space if you want to visit and breastfeed

Hygiene

• Handwashing before feeds and after every nappy change
• Toys cleaned daily
• A no-shoes rule in the infant room
• A clear policy for keeping unwell children at home

Easing in

Start with an hour or two and build up over a week or two. Stay nearby on the first days, and keep the same caregiver wherever possible so your baby forms a bond.
