The Key Ingredients

1. The Nurturing Programme: a first rate positive behaviour management & relationship skills programme for parents & children with excellent support materials for the classroom.

2. Family Links is a national training organisation that promotes excellence in the workforce



The Nurturing Programme (a therapeutic learning model)

The Programme is a carefully designed eclectic model combining affective, cognitive and behavioural approaches with the affective principles at its core.


The Nurturing Programme is based on 4 Constructs which are essential to

successful family relationships

The Parenting Puzzle p. 18


Experiential Learning

The Nurturing Programme meets all learning styles and is rooted in an experiential approach that enables internalised learning by parents & children:

Involve me and I will understand.”

One of the key findings was the importance of a ‘positive classroom climate’ where the tone of the classroom was respectful, safe and welcoming. It’s something that Ofsted look out for as an indication of a successful school.
