The Nest - Nurture Group Room
We are now very fortunate to have within school, our own Nuture Group Room called The Nest. Nurture groups are an in-school intervention with small group of children led by nurture practitioners -Sharon Winterbone and Tony Yallop. The group will be offered a warm and inviting place where they can begin to build trust and relationships whilst feeling accepted by adults and peers.
If you would like further information about The Nest please click on the links below:
The Nest will read and respond to non urgent email every Friday and can be contacted:
rrisnest@gmail.com
If you have an urgent message for The Nest, please leave a letter at the office for the attention of Sharon Winterbone and Tony Yallop.
