Our Nurture Room
The Nurture Room provides a welcoming and warm environment that aims to bridge the gaps between home and school thus breaking barriers to learning. It is run by two fully trained members of staff (leaders) who are in an explicitly supportive relationship. This provides a positive model for children to observe and learn from.
The leaders role is to support the children in feeling accepted and valued. They enable this by engaging with them in the learning and in the life of the class, by helping them to relate to each other and by using group dynamics to foster good relationships.
Activities within the room range from cooking, baking, board games and academic work to mindfulness, sensory play and snack time.
