Laura first became interested in sleep therapy after
questioning how we can better support families who are struggling with the impact of poor sleep. This sparked an interest and inspired Laura to look closely at the theory of sleep, how it affects us mentally and physically, how it is vital for our wellbeing and also encouraged her to look more into the science behind sleep. Laura completed her Sleep Tight workshop training, which has given her a strong understanding of infant and young children’s sleep patterns, common sleep challenges, and gentle, evidence-based strategies to support healthy sleep routines. Laura is about to embark on further training to enhance her knowledge further.
Laura works closely with our families to provide practical, compassionate guidance, which is tailored to the individual child’s needs, helping promote positive sleep habits that support children’s development, learning and overall wellbeing.
Verina is our resident music teacher (playing almost every instrument that we have ever heard of) the sounds from her keyboard, guitar, saxophone, flute, piano accordion, tongue drums and more can be heard ringing out as she works with groups of children across the nursery each week.
Verina not only plays instruments with the children, but she also listens to their words and enables them to create their own songs and melodies working with pitch, scale, rhythm, and rhyme. Verina explores and listens to the children’s interests and fascinations about music and helps them to expand the range of music they are exposed to, from classical to sea shanty and all the good stuff in between!
Verina helps the children to find out the answers to questions that they come up with during the sessions, such as; How do you know which key to press next? Where does the sound come out of? Is the sound still there if the volume is off? How do we fix the string on the guitar? What effect does music have on our body and our mood? Normally the answers the children find out lead us onto even more questions and discovery!
