This book has been written to help those children for whom school is a deeply unhappy experience. This is often those children whose academic difficulties or inappropriate behaviour prevent them from achieving success in the classroom; resulting in their feeling marginalised.

Nurturing Success is the story of the author's desire to help such children in her school by setting up a nurture group. It is a story full of compassion and warmth for the children she works with. However; it is much more than just a story. The benefit of this book is that it will provide you with all you need to establish a nurture group in your school. It includes sections on how to:

• lay firm foundations for your nurture group
• select children who will most benefit from joining your group
• establish the structures and routines of a successful nurture group
• assess the children's progress
• reintegrate children into their classrooms effectively

In addition; the book includes a full term's worth of session plans for a nurture group; as well as a huge amount of games; songs; recipes and clapping rhymes to use.

Nurture groups offer a well-established model for working with children who struggle with school; and this book provides all you need to run one successfully in your school. It could make the world of difference for many children.

Foreword by Jim Rose; Director of The Nurture Group Network.
