At Cirencester primary school we have a quiet, safe environment within School where children who need extra support outside the classroom can come if they require a 1-2-1 chat or just somewhere to re-gather their thoughts. 

Some Children attend regular sessions with a member of the nurture support team for a specific reason such as;

• Friendship difficulties
• Quiet, shy, withdrawn
• Find it hard to listen to others or join in.
• Find it difficult to settle into class.
• Low self esteem
• Bereavement, family issues or a family break up.
• SEN difficulties
• Regulation and emotion difficulties

How will having nurture time help my child?

It will boost confidence and self-esteem, providing children with the extra help can improve their social skills and independence. Some children need extra support in understanding their emotions and the strategies that are required when dealing with certain situations. 

Also, it's important for a child to feel safe within school, and have a person that they trust if they need to talk to someone outside of home. 

What our school team can offer? 

• One to one or group nurture time with a member of our team to talk through any worries or concerns
