Hollies Day Nurseries has become the first business in the UK to have all its nursery staff trained in the Marte Meo approach.

The group’s nursery leaders have qualified as Marte Meo colleague trainers, while all 30 nursery practitioners across its five settings have become trained Marte Meo practitioners.

Marte Meo, meaning ‘on one’s own strength’, was developed in the 1970s and 1980s by Dutch educational counsellor Maria Aarts. It is a video-based ‘supportive interaction’ programme that focuses on daily ‘interaction moments’ to help parents and professionals support a child’s social, emotional and communication development.

The programme currently works with practitioners and families in 52 countries.
