Thrive

At Chestnut nursery we value the importance of children’s social and emotional wellbeing. To support this, we use the Thrive approach.

Thrive is a specific programme which enables children to engage with life and learning by helping them to become more self-assured, capable and adaptable. Thrive strategies help to build resilience and confidence and foster positive relationships through play and creative activities.

Fun activities including messy play, 1:1 shared experiences, turn taking games and language development around feelings and emotions are embedded into the curriculum for all children at Chestnut.

The Thrive approach draws on the latest research into brain development and attachment and helps us to understand how individual children learn. More information can be found by clicking the button below:
