Jacquie and Jan from Walton Childrens Centre are currently running The Nurture Programme parenting course every Monday morning. We are happy to be able to offer such a beneficial course to our families to help give a few extra skills to helpt them have a more harmonious home and ideas how to manage behaviour and challenging situations.

2015 research showed:

• On average 8 out of 10 parents attending groups report significant improvements in their children’s behaviour and family life.
• A significant reduction in conduct problems and hyperactivity
• The programme is highly effective in improving mental health outcomes for both children and their parents
• A reduction in the proportion of children with clinical levels of difficulties
• Increase in levels of self-efficacy in 8 dimensions of parenting: emotion and affection, play and enjoyment, empathy and understanding, control, discipline and boundary setting, pressures of parenting, self-acceptance and learning and knowledge
• Parent Group Leaders report an improvement in children’s behaviour and emotional and mental health; more parents entering education, training
