Our ethos

The Nurture Approach is central to life at our Nurseries. It brings together learning and emotional wellbeing as part of the same amazing growing-up journey. We recognise the importance of the Key Person role in creating a sense of emotional safety for children, providing an environment in which they feel known, safe, and loved. This starts the very first time a child and their parent/carer spend time in the nursery, often during what is referred to as 'settling in' sessions. These first visits and time spent with their Key Person make all the difference, building a triangle of trust between the Key Person, the child, and the parent/carer.
