The well-being and mental health of all of the children in our care is always our utmost priority. Our wonderful team of Early Years Professionals do lots of work with the children on learning to label, understand and regulate their emotions and provide lots of different activities that promote physical and mental well-being, including things like yoga and meditation!

As well as looking after the well-being of the children, we also have a member of staff who is our designated 'Staff Well-being Champion' who regularly plans and implements different well-being initiatives for the staff team.

This week has been Mental Health Awareness Week, so as well as what we do every day for the children and staff, this week we have also treated our parents to a cuppa, a chocolatey treat and some mindful colouring, to ensure they make time for their own mental health too.

On Thursday, we also supported the 'Wear It Green Day' campaign! Green is the colour that represents mental health acceptance, so our staff team all wore green, or green items to show our support.

Check out our social media platforms to find out more and to see photos, or visit the Mental Health Awareness website for help and support if you need it.
