NEW: Full PSED Coverage
We are pleased to share an exciting new programme enhancement.
From this term, the myHappymind programme has been enhanced, providing the option for full coverage of the Personal, Social and Emotional Development (PSED) framework for Early Years, strengthening our mental literacy and wellbeing programme for Early Years settings.
This enhancement has been shaped directly by feedback from our programme users. Practitioners told us what they needed to support their EYFS provision, and we responded.
Why We Strengthened PSED Coverage in EYFS
Personal, Social and Emotional Development (PSED) plays a central role in early learning. It underpins children’s wellbeing, relationships, engagement and readiness to learn.
As myHappymind has become more widely used in Early Years settings, a consistent message emerged from practitioners and leaders: the need for full alignment with the PSED framework, alongside our core mental literacy and wellbeing programme.
The PSED coverage has been developed to:
- Strengthen existing EYFS practice
- Reduce spend on external PSED schemes
- Support consistent, developmentally appropriate PSED provision
- Align clearly with statutory framework expectations
- Provide the same engaging age-appropriate sessions and resources as our core wellbeing and emotional literacy programme
What the Full PSED Coverage Offers:
Alongside our award-winning NHS-endorsed mental literacy and wellbeing programme, this new content strengthens our programme for Early Years settings. Activities are active, varied and age-appropriate, designed to work naturally within everyday practice.
Fully-aligned PSED Activities
That are completely ready-to-deliver in your setting within continuous provision, using level-appropriate activities to support engagement and reduce repetitive learning experiences.
EYFS Digital Storybooks
Alongside the lessons are 7 digital storybooks. These engaging, beautifully illustrated books feature the myHappymind characters and have been written specifically by Early Years experts, using developmentally appropriate language, pacing and visuals.
Storybooks provide a familiar and accessible way for children to explore PSED concepts through shared discussion and reflection.
Designed for Early Years Practice
The EYFS PSED content has been developed with the realities of Early Years provision in mind.
- Flexible sessions that fit within continuous provision
- Level-appropriate activities that support engagement
- A clear structure that supports progression and avoids repetition
- Simple delivery that supports staff confidence
- No extra training or set up required
The focus is on strengthening provision without increasing workload or complexity.
Part of Our Ongoing Programme Development
This launch is one of a number of programme enhancements we introduce throughout the year.
We continuously review content, listen to practitioner feedback and refine our programmes to reflect emerging needs across education and health systems.
