Mental and Emotional Well-Being
How we support children’s well-being in nursery
- Lots of time for child-led play which helps children to develop independence, imagination and friendships.
- Plenty of opportunities for sensory, exploratory and creative play.
- Any changes in children’s behaviour or mood are noted by their keyworkers, and support is given where needed.
- We keep the environment as calm and predictable as possible, with quieter areas for looking at books or drawing.
- We use our lovely garden everyday, and give children the opportunity to observe, explore and appreciate the natural world.
- We have a friendly, supportive and caring atmosphere in the nursery. Children see their teachers smiling and helping one another.
- We value the importance of listening to and respecting children.
- We actively seek to work with others to help children; this could be parents or other family members or seeking professional advice or guidance where this could help.
