Short Sparks from the HEART: Introduction to the Six Principles of Nurture
This 'Short Sparks' session focuses on the Six Principles of Nurture, offering an overview of how they support children’s development and well-being in early years settings.
During the session, we explore each principle and share information about our upcoming Nurture Network, launching in the Autumn Term (2025/26).
The Nurture Network will offer opportunities for practitioners to reflect on children’s development and communication, while exploring key priorities for embedding a nurturing approach within their setting.
Join our Nurture Network: Growing Together in Early Years
Are you passionate about supporting children’s emotional well-being and development through nurturing approaches?
Would you like to connect with like-minded early years professionals to share best practices, offer guidance, and spark inspiration?
We invite you to become part of our Nurture Network — a collaborative and co-operative space where practitioners come together to:
- Exchange ideas and initiatives that challenge and inspire
- Coach and mentor one another through every step of the nurture journey
- Celebrate successes, tackle challenges, and grow in confidence and creativity
Together, we’re building a community rooted in trust, encouragement, and a shared commitment to improving outcomes for children.
Whether you’re just starting out or deeply rooted in nurturing practice, we’d love to grow alongside you.
Interested?
The first three network sessions will cover the six principles of nurture, with the final session providing an opportunity to reflect on the principles in practice and how to embed and sustain the approach within your settings.
We encourage you to sign up for all four sessions to get the most from the approach.
Sessions are being offered at TWO different times:
- 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
- 6:00 - 8:00 pm (evening sessions will prioritise spaces for childminders but are open to all)
