The head of the Thomas Coram Centre in Londondraws on her own experiences alongside research to offer some insight into the different aspects of care practitioners need to consider.
At the Thomas Coram Centre, we have a long history of supporting babies, from Captain Coram's ground-breaking work with foundling babies in the 18th century to our current work with children up to two years old in our nursery, drop-ins and with our linked childminders.
Our nursery is divided into two wings. The Moses wing is named after the image of the baby Moses in the bullrushes on the seal of the royal charter that established the foundling hospital. The Lamb wing is named after one of the images on the coat of arms of the foundling hospital. Each wing has a baby, toddler and kinder room, the baby room has six babies with two key persons, and there is a large conservatory, which links the rooms and gives the children access to the garden. The large garden is a shared space with protected baby areas.
