Nurturing Approaches
A ‘Nurturing Approach’ recognises that positive relationships are central to learning, wellbeing, and development. A key aspect of a ‘Nurturing Approach’ is understanding of attachment theory and the way in which early experiences can significantly impact upon development. All Early Years staff play an essential role in establishing positive, reliable, predictable, and consistent relationships required to promote healthy social and emotional development.
This series of modules have been developed collaboratively between Early Years and the Educational Psychology Service with the aim of supporting practitioners to develop knowledge and understanding of the theories, principles, and techniques that are central to a ‘Nurturing Approach’.
