‘When the nurture groups were working well, they made a considerable difference to the behaviour and the social skills of the pupils who attended them. Through intensive, well-structured teaching and support, pupils learnt to manage their own behaviour, to build positive relationships with adults and with other pupils and to develop strategies to help them cope with their emotions.’ (OFSTED Publication: Supporting children with challenging behaviour through a nurture group approach)
We will also examine what makes an outstanding nurture group by unpicking what ‘good practice’ looks like and how to prepare for inspection. Time will also be spent on the theory of nurture as well as the benefits of using strategies to identify children who will benefit from nurture interventions in school, as well ways to encourage children to build their confidence and learn positive behaviour.
Understand the theoretical background underpinning the nurture group approach, including principles of everyday practice, attachment theory, and relevant neuroscience.
Learn how to set up, organise, and run effective nurture groups across early years, primary, and secondary settings.
Explore curriculum development, daily routines, and practical nurture group activities to support children's emotional and social development.
Develop skills in assessment, monitoring, record-keeping, and evaluating children’s progress, including identifying blocks to learning.
Build strategies for working with parents and carers, creating policies, and supporting smooth transitions back to the classroom through an actionable development plan.
Aimed at anyone who works in a nurture group or is looking to set up a nurture provision. Ideal for school-based staff including teachers, head teachers, deputy headteacher, SENCO, special education teacher, school support staff, classroom assistant, educational psychologists and pastoral care staff and pastoral lead teacher.
