Glasgow City Council has stated its aspiration to move 'Towards the Nurturing City' where all establishments have implemented a whole school nurturing approach. This paper seeks to document the experiences of children and parents/carers, captured through semi-structured questionnaires in focus groups, in 'nurturing establishments'. Nineteen children and 21 parents/carers, randomly selected across two local authority primary schools and one local authority early years centre, took part in focus groups where they were asked about their daily experience of nurture in their schools and early years centre. The three establishments were selected by the Educational Psychological Service to exemplify good practice in embedding nurturing approaches with all staff. The 11 themes, derived from a thematic analysis, came from combining the responses of the parents/carers and children. All of the responses were positive in relation to the questions asked. In addition, the six nurture principles were felt by respondents to be applied in each of the three establishments, and the children and parent/carers gave lived examples of the principles.
