For early years settings
Wellbeing & PSED for nurseries, preschools & childminders
Our science-based early years programme builds self-regulation, resilience and school readiness. Short, ready-to-go weekly activities include full EYFS PSED coverage as standard, supporting children towards their Early Learning Goals (ELGs) and a Good Level of Development (GLD).
Built for the nursery day
Ready to use, easy to deliver
Engaging stories, songs and short activities fit naturally into your existing routines, supporting learning through play and everyday interactions. Children develop emotional awareness, positive relationships and confidence, while practitioners model the language of wellbeing throughout the day. Using the same familiar approach as myHappymind in primary schools, the programme creates a smooth transition into reception.
Full EYFS PSED coverage, built in
Full coverage of the EYFS Personal, Social and Emotional Development (PSED) area of learning comes as standard with myHappymind early years, with no additional cost. Our ready-to-deliver activities cover all three PSED Early Learning Goals: Self-Regulation, Managing Self and Building Relationships. With comprehensive curriculum mapping and ready-made planning provided, you can confidently demonstrate coverage and deliver PSED without adding to practitioner workload.
Early years inclusion, made simple
myHappymind belong for early years is an inclusion programme for nurseries, preschools, childminders and school-based nurseries. With the new EYFS and inclusion now in Ofsted’s early years inspection toolkit, it helps settings build on the inclusion work they already do and keep it strong when staff change. Practical tools for leaders, short team training and parent app resources give every adult the same words and the same approach. Every child has a place to go, something to do, someone to connect with and an adult who notices.

It is great to see them reflecting and engaging in these conversations, and it is definitely helping them to articulate themselves on a whole range of important themes.

A confident start to school
Ready to Shine is a five-week school readiness programme, included in myHappymind for early years and primary schools. With over a third of children not yet school-ready when they start reception,* it builds the emotional and practical foundations they need, from regulation and confidence to communication and independence. Story-led sessions, short staff training and home challenges for parents give children, staff and parents the same words and routines. Every child starts school calm, confident and ready to learn. *Source: Kindred Squared School Readiness Survey (2024–2026)
