At Long Knowle, we are fortunate to have adapted a space within our school for the use of a nurture room. Our nurture room is designed to be a bridge between home and school; a place where children can feel safe and secure.
The Treehouse has a table to share snacks, a seating area, a calming sensory corner and space to provide opportunities for collaboration and social interaction. Pupils at Long Knowle may have the opportunity to visit The Treehouse in small groups. This space is a place for learning and groups are well thought-out to create balanced and functional groups.
The purpose is to offer our pupils opportunities to re-visit early learning skills; promoting and supporting their social and emotional development. Research supports that children's learning is most effective when they have a sense of emotional well-being, good self-esteem and a feeling of belonging to their school community.
The Treehouse provides our pupils with this opportunity and thus helps to develop their maturity and resilience. The Treehouse aims to boost children's confidence and self-esteem and provide some children with the extra support needed to improve their social skills and independence:
