Nursery partners with Simply Sleep to improve children’s sleep

L-R: Emma Riley (Director – Simply Sleep), Laura Peirce (Director – Hopes & Dreams), Rebekah Dalrymple (Director – Simply Sleep) and Gary Peirce (Director – Hopes & Dreams).

The nursery group, Hopes & Dreams has partnered with Simply Sleep to lead the way in supporting sleep from within a childcare setting.

The partnership consists of staff training and parental support and will see several other incentives being rolled out across the Hopes & Dreams group.

Speaking on the partnership, Rebekah Dalrymple and Emma Riley, Directors of Simply-Sleep said: “We support hundreds of families across the island to sleep well using our tailored sleep plans, however, a common concern that parents have is the willingness of their childcare providers to co-operate.

“Consistency is key for our plans to work and the last thing we want is to set our clients up for failure, so it made sense to us that we should be working more closely with this sector.”

Laura & Gary Peirce, Directors of Hopes & Dreams commented on the new partnership saying:

“We pride ourselves on our unique play-based curriculum, founded on the latest brain development studies of children.

“But the reality is that without sleep, the curiosity and wonder that we try to evoke in every child, can be significantly hindered.

“Children who don’t get consistently good sleep struggle with their brain development and emotional regulation, the foundations to confident and happy learning.”

The nursery says that working in partnership with Simply Sleep, it has been able to provide its team of childcare experts with additional knowledge and skills that enable them to understand and support childhood wellbeing, “like no other childcare setting on Island”.

With night and daytime sleep being inextricably linked, and with Laura and Gary keen to look after those in a caring role, the partnership extends beyond sleep in a nursery setting.

Simply Sleep will also be providing parent support workshops, monthly blogs and free initial consultations to Hopes & Dreams parents and carers.

The first workshop will be held on Wednesday, March 27 and details on how to book in can be found on the Famly app.
