What happens during a nurture approach?

A nurture approach is often used in combination with another intervention to provide a well-rounded intervention. A nurture approach can be provided on an individual, group and whole school basis. A nurture approach views a child or young person's learning needs as equal to their emotional needs. More focus is given to emotional needs to ensure the individual feels secure. By meeting emotional needs, the young person is able to place more importance on their learning. Our input can be in the form of staff training, nurture groups or as a consultation.

What happens after a nurture approach?

After a nurture approach the child or young adult will understand the importance of emotional wellbeing in relation to learning and other elements of life. Following a nurture approach our team may recommend that we book in follow up sessions, if required. Outcomes from a nurture approach will be provided during a feedback session and a short written report, as needed. 

Does a nurture approach come with a report?

We provide a comprehensive report after a nurture approach. It Highlights recommendations for creating a nurture approach to education. There may be various reasons for requesting a nurture approach. If you would not like a written report, then feedback can be provided verbally, along with a brief summary written by our team. Read more about our reports.
