My name is Bethany Jamieson. I am an internationally experienced and qualified Primary School Teacher and Leader of Education.
My Nurturing Approach to Learning
Nurture is an educational approach that prioritises emotional needs and development alongside academic learning.
It focuses on creating a safe, welcoming environment where children can thrive through positive relationships.
Nurturing approaches encourage adults to understand and respond to children's feelings and behaviours, helping them feel secure and ready to learn.
Nurture emphasises the importance of structure, routine, clear boundaries and high expectations.
Why is the Nurture approach important to The Learning Nest?
There is an increase in children and young people experiencing distress and anxiety. Research tells us that nurturing approaches can successfully help to:
-
support emotional wellbeing
-
support the development of good social and emotional skills
-
have a positive impact on learning.
A child's wellbeing is crucial for successful learning; when that foundation is strong, everything else falls into place.
What can you expect to see at The Learning Nest?
-
Children and parents/carers and partners being welcomed and supported
-
Health and wellbeing, and the development of social and emotional understanding, being a key focus and seen as an important part of raising attainment
