What is a nurture group?

• A nurture group
• provides a safe and structured environment
• gives children opportunities to talk, listen,
  share their ideas within a small group
• gives them skills to enable them achieve more
  when they are back in the classroom

3
The Nurture Room

• The room offers a safe environment.
• The children follow a clearly planned daily
  program.
• The children meet up for Circle Time, breakfast,
  structured play time and crafts or cooking.

What is Circle Time?
5

• The children are reminded of the Circle Time
  Rules which they are proud to follow!

6
During Circle Time children learn about
different emotions and how to express themselves.

The importance of words

• Nurture involves listening and responding.
• We give a lot of importance to the way children
  use language in order to help them put their
  feelings into words.
• This helps children to either control themselves
  or else open up to others.

8
The activities we share

• Welcoming children to the Nurture Room
• Having Circle Time
• Sitting at table and having breakfast together
• Playing together
• Doing crafts or even cooking

9
These activities

• Are as important as other formal subjects which
  take place in the classroom because they help
  children have better relationships with others.
• Are important for the development of self-esteem.
