Support children’s wellbeing, meet Ofsted expectations, and give your staff powerful tools — with the UK’s only CPD-accredited, franchise-backed mindfulness and mindset programme designed for nurseries.

Behaviour and self-regulation challenges in early years are increasing, leaving staff under pressure.
Ofsted inspections now look closely at how you evidence EYFS Personal, Social & Emotional Development (PSED) — and many nurseries struggle to show consistent, structured delivery.
The sector is more competitive than ever — reputation and outcomes matter.
60 structured lessons (teaching 25 superpowers), CPD Accredited and mapped to EYFS PSED outcomes.

The sessions have been really beneficial for both practitioners and children. Being able to use the different breathing techniques when children need a moment to calm down and finding their anchor has helped so much! The encouragement to believe in yourself and the use of positive affirmations is powerful, and we’ll never forget to make our shoulders smile and wear our invisible crowns! I often catch myself thinking, ‘Oh no, I’m looking at the floor and remember to put on my invisible crown!’👑💫 Thank you so much Tessa, for the incredible impact you’ve made on our little ones during these sessions and helping us to discover superpowers we didn’t know we had!
We love the power of Tessa’s minime mindfulness sessions. The children are learning to explore their emotions and finding ways to channel their superpowers to understand and deal with how they might be feeling. My favourite part of today’s session was how children learnt to lift their crowns when they might be feeling sad. Tessa really creates a fun and unique way for children to understand how they are feeling. The positivity from each session leaves the children (&Staff!) feeling inspired and motivated to be the best versions of themselves. The children thoroughly enjoy meditating during their sessions and hearing about the feel good fox and the happy bunny. We love to hear Annie & Oscar’s voice as the story is told. We have seen the children really take on board the valuable skills they are learning each session. We can’t wait for our sessions to start back in the new term!
Our children have thoroughly enjoyed te sessions we have had so far with Claire, thy embraced the activities with enthusiasm and excitement. We are lookin forwrd to our next session.
I cannot recommend Lucy at MiniMe Mindfulness Cannock highly enough!! The children absolutely love it when Lucy comes into nursery and teaches us a new ‘superpower’ each time through play-based learning. Lucy’s sessions are amazing and the children are totally engaged throughout. Lucy has got to know the children well and 'homes in' on their interests, ensuring content of their interests are apparent in each session. All children are making amazing progress and are developing a lovely understanding of ‘Mindfulness’ and its importance which is lovely to see at such a young age. Not only the children, but I as their teacher, are learning techniques and strategies to ensure Mindfulness is being promoted within the setting. The children enjoy engaging in Lucy’s activities and techniques in between visits and talk about her frequently and ask when she is next coming. Some children have even been teaching their parents what they have learnt in their MiniMe Mindfulness session including yoga stretches and the power of their breath. Thank you so much Lucy - we cannot wait for our next session - keep spreading you amazing positivity.
Lucy does weekly sessions at Fun Start Childcare. Our children really enjoy these sessions and get very excited when Lucy arrives. They all like learning a new superpower each week and this is linked to a dance, story and other fun activities to keep them engaged. Highly recommend Lucy and MiniMe Mindfulness
Our weekly MiniMe Mindfulness sessions with Tessa have been a beautiful addition to our setting, benefiting both our children and practitioners in so many meaningful ways 💛 Each week, the children explore a new mindfulness ‘superpower’, from breathing techniques to positive affirmations, finding their inner anchor, and learning how to regulate big emotions 🧘✨
