Goodstart Early Learning Maida Vale

We recognise that behaviours such as biting and physical play are a normal part of early childhood development. As children learn to communicate, manage emotions, and build relationships, they sometimes need extra support and guidance to navigate these experiences safely.
Here’s how we support them each day:
✨ Introduced a “gentle hands” song.
✨ Having regular conversations about what we can and can’t use our hands for
✨ Using consistent language like “gentle hands” throughout the day.
✨ Supporting children through conflicts by listening to everyone involved and helping them understand each other’s feelings.
✨ Encouraging children to resolve situations together—whether that’s saying sorry or helping a friend up.
✨ Calming space where children can go to regulate their emotions or enjoy some quiet time when needed.
✨ Partnerships with Families: Your support at home is so important. Continuing these conversations and strategies help children build consistency and confidence.

🌟 Where Wellbeing Meets Learning 🌟
At our centre, we believe the little moments build big skills. Our Toddler 2 children were encouraged to take an active role in setting up their own beds—fostering independence, confidence, and a strong sense of responsibility.
Aligned with EYLF Outcome 3.2, we nurture each child’s ability to care for their own health and physical wellbeing through meaningful, everyday routines. By supporting children to manage their own rest spaces, we empower them to feel capable, secure, and proud of their achievements. 🛏️
Our caring educators create a supportive environment where every child is guided, encouraged, and celebrated as they grow into confident, independent learners.
✨ Join a community that nurtures wellbeing, builds life skills, and supports your child every step of the way. ✨
