Nursery World - Nursery's grant to boost children's wellbeing and mental health

A nursery in St Albans has treated its children to a newly developed sensory room and bespoke wellbeing activities as part of Feeling Good Week.

Feeling Good Week is an annual Hertfordshire wide event and runs in nurseries, schools, children’s centres and other community organisations.

One of its aims is to increase resilience in children and young people by telling them about the importance of their emotional and mental health, empowering them to know who to ask for help if and when it is needed, and to enable them to develop positive coping strategies to deal with life events.

It is an opportunity to promote emotional wellbeing, raise awareness of mental ill health and reduce stigma in order to enable children and young people to access emotional support within the local community if it is needed.
