Supporting young minds in the community 

Academic, sporting and community environments can be incredible, but coaches and educational professionals simply cannot do it all. The Nurture Meadow works alongside a variety of schools, sports academies and Local Authorities, to help bring mental health and wellbeing to life in engaging, empowering ways, whilst supporting children to alleviate overwhelm and build coping strategies.

The Nurture Meadow creates and delivers workshops that are designed with children in mind and are set up for optimal learning for those between the ages of 4 and 16.  

Workshops are inclusive, interactive, playful and creative, ensuring that young minds are introduced to the science behind emotions and big feelings, before being encouraged to explore coping strategies. This builds their ability to move from emotional awareness to emotional regulation.  

Workshop themes vary depending on the needs of those attending and the challenges identified, but popular topics include:

  • An introduction to mental health and positive wellbeing

  • Managing worries

  • Building a positive mindset

  • Preparing for the secondary school transition

  • Building resilience

  • Enhancing self-esteem

  • Navigating anger and frustration

  • Managing pressure in high performance environments

  • An introduction to yoga and mindfulness.

Workshop sessions can be flexible in format and delivered in a variety of settings for between 8 and 40 participants. Session length varies between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on the objectives and age of the children and their needs. 

All workshops include educational information, a chance to get creative or discuss and explore the topic, a Q&A, and a PDF follow up. 

Every child benefits from wellbeing workshops, so if you are interested in supporting young minds in your setting, please enquire here and I’ll be in touch to explore how we can work together.

If your staff are overstretched but you have children in need of regular support, The Nurture Meadow can operate as an extension of your core team, providing regular, fun and engaging sessions within your setting, in a flexible format, either as one-to-ones or in small groups. 

To discuss the needs of the children around you, leave your details and I’ll be in touch soon.

Yoga and Mindfulness classes

Scientific evidence continues to grow to support the idea that by practising movement and mindfulness, children positively alter the way in which their brain develops, whilst also reaping the benefits in their physical body.

Movement and mindfulness are slowly being introduced in schools throughout the UK and are helping to combat the alarming growth of mental and emotional health issues the younger generation experience, by providing gentle, yet powerful, early intervention.

​The Nurture Meadow is passionate about delivering unique, playful, science based, trauma-informed yoga, in a way that is accessible, adapting to your setting and the needs of the children you work alongside. 

Through Yoga and Mindfulness, children and young people;

  • Become more self-aware and engage in an emotional education 

  • Learn adapted yoga for the developing brain, body and anatomy, improving posture and strength, enhancing balance and coordination and encouraging stretching

  • Experience mindfulness, meditation and breathing techniques 

  • Explore language and how to use it positively to influence a growth mindset

  • Develop useable tools to self- regulate, build confidence and grow self-esteem

  • Better manage their stress and emotional challenges, building resilience and insight

  • See an increase in focus and learning ability and adaptability

  • Become more tolerant of one another, enhancing empathy 

  • Boost overall positivity 

  • Support muscle tone, flexibility and their and growing body.

These sessions can run as one-off, stand-alone sessions, or as a 6-10 week programme.

    “We had a brilliant time with you this morning. You adapted so well to the needs of the children and really got them talking about feelings in different scenarios. A few of the children told me how much they had enjoyed the session afterwards, especially the meditation! I thought the way that you taught how their brains and nervous systems work scientifically was excellent and made them think about the relationship between the mind and body.”

    “Thank you Kelly for your support. I am so grateful to you for listening and working with G when we both felt we didn’t know where to turn when things got difficult. It’s been so incredible to watch her be more confident, sometimes I have to remind myself that this time last year she wouldn’t leave the house in the dark or the rain, or would sit in the car crying because she couldn’t bring herself to get out. We’ve come a long way. Thankyou.”

    “Thank you for your delivery the other night, it was great to see the boys so engaged and enjoying the workshop. I wanted to thank you for all of the great work and support you provided for us as an Academy this season. I am looking forwards to continuing this next season.”

    “H hasn’t stopped talking about the Workshops and we have had a couple of instances where he has been practicing his breathing and other skills and is constantly doing his yoga moves. He is much more resilient and has really come on. He is much more outspoken. Thank you so much for your work with him...”

    “I love coming here. It helps me to unjumble things and makes me feel calm. I love that we create things together and talk and it’s fun, but I know about my brain now.”

    "“I saw your email, printed out your brilliant pdf, given it a really quick skim read, but we need to sit down and properly go through it. M got back Sunday absolutely knackered, and anger came to visit. He went out to the trampoline, and I went to give him a cuddle, to be met by "what did we say at that house? I have gone away for some space!" So I thanked him for being reminded of what we had discussed, and left him to go walk the dog instead! J really liked the session, he came away really complimenting it and admitting that he wasn't too sure about what it would consist of when I mentioned craft and play, but he was very much won over!”

    “I just wanted to say, S is doing really well. She has blossomed this year, she is coping well with ‘situations’ at school, or with friendships like water off a duck’s back. Showing resilience and a real determination to do well. I believe a big part of this is down to you, with the tools, inspiration and guidance you have given her over the past 3 years. She still wants to keep coming back because she enjoys the yoga, creativity, as well as someone to talk to that doesn’t judge, just listens and reminds her that all feelings are welcome. It’s become her own little wellbeing sanctuary. The Nurture Meadow is a very special place for young people and I’m just so grateful that I found you.”
