Bring Mindfulness & Emotional Wellbeing to Your Nursery

In Person or Through Our CPD-Accredited Nursery Licence

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.

The Challenge For Nurseries Right Now

  • Parents expect more than care — they want their children equipped with emotional regulation and resilience.

  • 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.

Nurseries that prioritise wellbeing aren’t just “ticking a box” — they’re building stronger reputations, retaining staff, and creating happier environments and outcomes for children.

MiniMe Mindfulness® offers a proven, practical approach:

  • 60 structured lessons (teaching 25 superpowers), CPD Accredited and mapped to EYFS PSED outcomes.

  • CPD-accredited Training (and ongoing recognition) for staff, empowering your team with confidence.

  • Peer-led voice — children hear from children through our Mentoring 4 Kids by Kids™ resources.

  • Branded lesson assets, plans, story boards, props, and MiniMe Mindfulness® Journals to bring sessions to life in the nursery and at home.

  • A dedicated Location Finder listing so that parents can find you when searching for nurseries that prioritise mental wellbeing.

  • Staff and parent wellbeing support via CPD Accredited, workshops and self study course Mini Me Time™.

MiniMe Mindfulness® combines accreditation, structure, child voice, and whole-setting support — a first in the UK.

Happier children — increased self awareness and a stronger sense of wellbeing and tools to self regulate. staff feel equipped and less stressed, children mirror that calm and joy.

Why Nurseries Matter Most

  • 75% of parents of under-fives worry about their child’s emotional wellbeing (NSPCC, 2024).

  • Globally, 1 in 5 children aged 1–7 are affected.
    (Royal College of Psychiatrists, 2023)

  • 1 in 20 children aged 2–4 already have a diagnosable mental health disorder (NHS Digital).

  • Half of all mental health problems are established by age 14, many beginning in the early years (NHS, 2019).

    This is your opportunity:


    👉 The first five years are a critical window for emotional and social development.


    👉 By embedding structured, evidence-based programmes now, nurseries can give children the tools for calm, confidence, focus, and resilience before they even start school.

The early years are critical:

Our emotional blue print and belief system is mostly formed by age 7

  • Peer-led learning elements: children hear from voices just like theirs

  • Proven impact in nurseries, schools, and community projects nationwide

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!

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 🧘✨
