Supporting Wellbeing and Mental Health in Reception

As you are aware, we are very passionate about promoting positive mental health and talking about out feelings at Catchgate. We have embedded this as part of our school ethos so we understand our feelings and emotions from a young age and are willing to openly talk about our wellbeing. We are always ensuring we promote young children's social and emotional development right through school, starting as soon as they walk through the doors at early years. Take a look at some of the websites and resources you can use to support your child's wellbeing:
