In completion of ‘Building better relationships, learning, behaviours’ course on ALDO practitioners were inspired and took the suggestion of implementing certificates to recognise achievements throughout the setting. After a team discussion it was decided that these certificates would be given out, relating to SHANARRI and SIMOA to encourage discussion with the children about “being responsible” “being respectful” “being safe” etc.

The children have responded very well to these certificates, taking pride in demonstrating actions such as supporting their peers and staff, being respectful, caring for the nursery and resources provided. Children are very excited when presented with a certificate to which they can take home and a photo is displayed of them on their Learning Journals and our SHANARRI wall.

This has been a positive addition to our Setting 😊
