Mums Squad Childcare So You Can Get Fit
-
Our high standard of childminding makes Mums Squad special. Our nannies are part of a professionally managed team that care for your children. The children are our priority and if ever your baby or toddler needs you, you will be called from the session. However, we like to think that the standard of childcare is such that this rarely happens.
-
Babies and Toddlers are cared for separately so their needs can be properly met. You can read about Toddlers below.
-
Your session instructions are recorded on our “Baby Pram Cards” or on the Toddler Sign In Board and carried out as you require. Then at the end of the session you receive feedback about how the session went so that you can plan the rest of your day.
-
We have a ratio of 5 children to each Nanny and all the girls that work for us have be been checked under “Working With Children” requirements. We are a leader in the fitness industry when it comes to childcare so mums can get fit. You can link to our published policies below.
Bringing Your Baby to Mums Squad
-
You can start with Mums Squad once your baby is 6 weeks old and you have been cleared by your doctor, so our nannies are used to caring for young babies.
-
Dedicated nannies care for the babies while you concentrate on your workout. At the same time, you are never exercising too far away from your little one. If they need to feel their mothers touch you are right there.
-
Babies sometimes cry when left with our nannies, especially if it is the first time they they have been away from you.
-
Our nannies will do all they can to console your little one. If they can’t they will come and get you.
-
This happens from time to time, but less and less as your baby becomes familiar with Mums Squad.

Things to Bring & Helpful Hints for Babies at Mums Squad
-
It really helps if your baby has been fed before the session if at all possible. If they take a bottle please bring one with you and let the Nanny know where you keep it.
-
Also if they use a comforter like a dummy or a cloth please leave it with the Nannies. If it is appropriate bring some biscuits to keep them pacified until you can feed your baby properly after the session
-
Bring a blanket to keep them warm along with nappies, wipes and a portable change mat, in case they need changing.
-
A hat is an important item to protect them from the sun
-
Your pram will play an important part in your baby’s sessions. It will be used as an area that your child can return to to sleep, eat or just relax. So don’t forget to bring it along to every session.
-
Please do not balance or hang any bags on the back of your child’s pram. It can easily tip over.

Tod Squad is our childcare for babies that have grown into toddlers and children up tot he age of 6.

Every Tod squad session your child will have the chance to engage in many activities like colouring and sticking, bubble blowing, dress-ups, nature walks and story time. There are a wide variety of toys to play with and they are changed regularly.
