Nurture Support
Welcome to the Nurture Support Provision.
Here you can find out about our provision, how we support children and families, and how we help pupils understand the world better, manage their emotions and regulate their behaviour effectively. The room also provides support for social interaction, offering intervention in a safe, supportive and nurturing environment.
Staff have received training in Therapeutic Nurture Principles, Trauma and ACEs, Boxall Profiles, Zones of Regulation, Therapeutic Scripts, Makaton, PECs, and Elklan.

Explain the provision and its goals -
Outline when and how often the intervention will take place

Discuss how and when progress updates will be shared
