HOW THE RIGHT ENVIRONMENT NATURALLY HELPS TO NUTURE
Summary
GREYSBROOKE’S NURTURE ROOM – HOW THE RIGHT ENVIRONMENT NATURALLY HELPS TO NUTURE We’re living in a world where our young school pupils have to deal with ever- increasing pressures. From the emotional distress caused by problems at home, low self-esteem and anger issues to the tremendous worries brought about by the pandemic – not least lockdown and home-schooling taking them away from their friends – there are many factors that can have a detrimental effect on a pupil’s mental state. However, Greysbrooke Primary School, based in Staffordshire, has striven to help support its pupils through emotionally difficult times with the creation of its own dedicated Nurture Room. A dedicated Nurture Room, distinct in design from classrooms, would provide a welcoming and relaxed space within the school for us to work with our pupils in a productive and structured way. ), the Nurture Room featured a realistic beach-side scene, flanked by colourful bunting, sunny postcards and holiday photographs, all aimed at transporting the children away from the classroom environment.
