Inside Sandton City's new Baby Care Lounge
The new lounge was launched by Sandton City and its owners Liberty Group Limited, Liberty Two Degrees and Pareto Limited, in tandem with the revamped Checkers Hyper flagship at the end of September.
The baby care facility was strategically designed to offer a safe, comfortable and soothing environment for parents and carers visiting the centre. Those with babies and toddlers are offered a private and fully equipped lounge where they can feed, warm up food and change their little ones at ease for free.
The Baby Care Lounge offers private and comfortable breastfeeding booths, family bathrooms and a food preparation area. It also has a tailored play area to keep toddlers entertained under the watch of their parents.
In terms of safety and security of the child and of the personal belongings of the parents or carers, Sandton City says careful security systems have been put in place and it begins with being welcomed to the CCTV monitored facility with a secure sign-in process.
Sandton City also introduced ‘Secure A Child’, a child security service offering a tracking watch that is pre-set with security parameters. Should a child move out of its ‘safe zone’ then the parent is immediately notified. The tracking watch is equipped with live-tracking capabilities, an SOS button for children in distress as well as a two-way calling option.
The Baby Care Lounge is located near the Checkers Court.
