John McDonald
Becoming a Nurture School through Nurture International has been one of the most impactful and transformative steps we've taken as a school community. The process has deepened our understanding of what it truly means to put children’s emotional wellbeing at the heart of education — not just in theory, but in daily practice.
The support and training from Nurture International helped us build a whole-school approach rooted in relationships, empathy, and trust. It empowered our staff to respond to behaviour as communication, and to see every child as capable, valued, and worthy of connection.
We’ve seen a tangible difference: children feel safer, more understood, and better able to engage with learning. Our staff feel more confident in their approach, and our families feel more connected to school life
Bergdis Wilson
Nurture International has made the implementation of the nurturing approach both accessible and a true pleasure. Their deep knowledge and understanding of Nurture are evident in everything they do, and their passion for children’s wellbeing shines through in their supportive, values-driven approach.
Their commitment to partnership working has allowed us as a team to create a vision and mold the apporach to fit Icelandic culture. They have played a key role in making Nurture accessible for us in Iceland as we work towards developing a nationwide approach. Their guidance and collaboration have been invaluable, and we are grateful for their expertise and wholehearted support.
Jess Cooke
I had the privilege of attending the three-day training course with Nurture International, and it was truly transformative. Guided by three wonderful ladies, each session was engaging, insightful, and tailored to our needs. Their expertise and genuine passion for Nurture International created an environment where learning felt both enjoyable and impactful. I walked away with a wealth of knowledge and practical skills that I immediately began applying. This experience has been one of the best training sessions I've ever attended—thank you, Nurture International, for such an enriching journey
