Nurture - Mrs Corey

Our ‘Sunshine Room’ was awarded the prestigious Marjorie Boxall Quality Mark Award in November 2016.  It is staffed by an accredited teacher and assistant.

​

The’ Sunshine Room’ provides a safe, secure environment. It has a kitchen and living area, a work area and a well- resourced play area.  

​

We aim to provide a ‘Home from Home’ experience, working closely with parents and carers and supported by Outside Agencies.        

​

 As a Nurturing School, we aim to embed a nurturing culture which enhances the teaching and learning for our children, and helps children to learn to behave appropriately, to use their curiosity constructively, to improve their self-esteem and develop confidence, through forming close and trusting relationships with adults.

We address the emotional needs and development as well as academic learning.

​

Nurture UK define the six principles of Nurture as:

​

• Children’s learning is understood developmentally.

• The classroom offers a safe base.

• The importance of nurture for the development of self-esteem.

• Language is a vital means of communication.

• All behaviour is communication.

• The importance of transition in children’s lives
