BEST OF FRIENDS

At Rachel Keeling Nursery School, we understand the importance of attachment for young children and work hard to support our children and families to feel loved and part of our school community. Relationships and friendships are at the heart of this.

Measuring children’s well-being and engagement is a vital indicator of how much progress they will make, and all the team are experienced in using the Leuven Scales to do this. We monitor the children termly (sometimes more if needed), discuss the findings as a team and plan for children’s needs. Often if a child scores at the lower end of the scale, it will correlate to their relationships with peers.
