Why buy?

Transitions, whether big or small, can be a significant source of anxiety for your pupils. A nurturing approach aims to build a sense of belonging through strong relationships, empathy and a caring and settled environment. When children are supported during transitions, they feel more secure and cared for, and far more able to move forward and continue learning. 

This course will guide you through a more nurturing approach to transitions.
