Adam's lovely nursery

For about 2 months now we’ve been sending Adam to a nursery. The old babysitter suddenly announced that she didn’t want to take care of Adam anymore. This happened just after Adam was hospitalized and he was crying a lot since he was still a little ill. She said her husband cannot stand Adam crying and that Adam pun everytime nampak muka Pakcik terus menangis. I cried immediately upon hearing this sbb rasa sedih Adam dgr “Ibu” ckp dia taknak jaga Adam lagi. Dan jugak sedih memikirkan adakah pakcik telah buat apa2 pada Adam? Teringat peha dan bont*t Adam yg lebam a few times. The next day we took EL and terus cari nursery baru untuk Adam.

That’s when we found this nursery. Ade hikmah rupanya masalah yg datang. This nursery is just GREAT! I used to tell myself everytime I feel like crying when leaving Adam to the babysitter – Tak ada org yg boleh jaga Adam mcm saya jaga. Tak boleh dpt yg 100% puas hati cara dia jaga. Saya mesti byk2 sabar…Tapi dgn nursery baru ni, I can honestly say that I memang 100% puas hati…..ALHAMDULILLAH…

Why do I LOVE this nursery so much?

The teachers are just angels. They are young girls, very sweet and innocent. And they just adore children. I can see from the way they interact with Adam and the other babies. Every day when I pick him up they will tell stories of what Adam did that day. “Akak sukala tgk Adam bila dia duduk…comel je tegak…hehehe”. “Akak, Adam makan dia sembur2 baju saya…hehehe””Akak, Adam suka main rambut baby ni…diorg main golek2 dua org tadi…hehehe”. Always laughing and smiling and it’s obvious that they love these babies.

Even when Adam isn’t behaving so well, when he’s constantly crying like his first day (he cried the whole day non-stop) the teachers did not panic at all. The just stayed calm and told me “ takpe kak, ade baby yg sampai seminggu menangis…dia cuma nak sesuaikan diri ni…” True enough the next day Adam terus tak menangis lagi. Kalau Adam menangis sbb tak sihat pun diorg tak pernah marah2/bengang…diorg relax jer..

Adam dah tak dimasukkan dlm buai lagi. Kalau bbsitter dulu Adam sentiasa diletak dlm buai without our permission. Siap beli buai letrik lagi untuk Adam (also without asking us). Nursery ni professional jadi dia akan ikut request the parents of the babies. Yg peliknya, seblom ni bbsitter ckp Adam tak boleh tido kalau tak buai. Tapi kat nursery elok jer Adam tido kat cot. Tak pernah ade masalah langsung.

Adam is so happy there...suka main dgn cikgu and kawan2 pun ramai...(girlfren pun dah ade kot??)

Seblom ni Adam diberi fast flow bottle. I bought him slow flow bottles sbb dia breastfed, I don’t want him to have nipple confusion. Tapi kata bbsitter Adam takmau bottles dia, so bbsitter sendiri tukarkan bottle Adam to the normal fast flow. When I told her to pls switch back, she threatened to quit. So I terpaksa biarkan je. Dia ckp Adam ni susah betul nak minum bottle, payah kene bawak minum luar lah, kene gantung2 kainla nak entertain Adam. In fact she forced me to bottle feed Adam even if I’m with Adam so that Adam pandai minum bottle. Kalau I nak breastfeed jugak kat rumah maknanya I ni TAK SAYANG anak i. Logik ke? (of course I tak ikut ckp dia). Dekat nursery ni, alhamdulillah Adam minum slow flow bottle dia tanpa apa2 masalah. Skang makin byk pulak minum…

The nursery is always open and inviting. I’ve visited many nurseries before, byk yg amat susah nak bukak pintu. Kene call owner dulula, babies tgh tidola, etc. Mungkin keadaan dlm tu sepah kot? I pun taktau. Tapi nursery ni, everytime dtg mesti terus bukak pintu ajak masuk. Both owner and staff are always confident that the inside of the nursery always dlm keadaan tiptop. Dan memang betul pun. Nursery ni sgt bersih dan cozy.

They handle expressed breastmilk well. Untuk heat up ada electric warmer. This is important for me sbb tak semua nursery tahu handle EBM. They also welcome visits at lunchtime to breastfeed.

They bathe the babies 3 times daily. Pagi2 I dah mandikan Adam already so diorg akan mandikan tghari dan petang. Sesekali kalau I amik Adam awal sikit n bgtau diorg nak amik Adam awal so kalau Adam blom mandi takyah mandikan pun takpe, tapi diorg akan cpt2 kasi mandi jugak before kitorg sampai. Kalau bbsitter dulu dia selalu complain pasal ibu2 lain yg tak mandikan anak diorg pagi sebelom hantar ke rumah dia. Dah diorg hantar pukul 6.30 pagi tak logikla nak kasi budak mandi kol 5 pagi…..yg I ni ofis dekat takpe jugak nak mandikan Adam kol 7….

Telinga Adam dengar suara2 lembut cikgu2 tu…always speaking soft and saying nice things. Kalau bbsitter dulu dia org tua yg jenis mulut agak…err…ckp lepas sikitla. Byk conversation tak baik didpn Adam contohnya “Adam mak kau ni tak sayang kau la..” (dpn muka saya ni) Hmm…never underestimate babies…we don’t know how much they are absorbing…kene jaga mulut dan perbuatan sebenarnye…Tapi this is of course based on my limited observation la. Dibelakang I taktaula mcm mana…

The nursery punya management very organized. Monthly dpt a formal bill for payment. Boleh bayar cash, online, check dah sebagainya. Harga sama jer dgn babysitter dulu.

Diorg bagi nickname untuk Adam - Dadam. Comel jer…toiletries Adam ade mark tulis “Dadam”. Hehehe…

Oklah dah panjang lak I tulis…hehehe..

Kesimpulannya I sayang sgt nursery ni….i tak lagi rasa sedih tinggalkan Adam utk pegi kerja….(tapi rindu mesti ada jugak….heheh). To Adam’s amazing teachers, THANK YOU SOOO MUCH…

Here’s a photo of Adam with some of his teachers….

i love these girs!

*Bbsitter lama jaga anak2 my cousin elok jer for years dah…mungkin dgn Adam je tak sesuai kot…atau mommy Adam fussy sgt kot…
