“The iSpace toolkit really helped to create conversation between myself and my son. He finds if fun to use, so therefore engages well and wants to use it. Paula herself was fantastic with him and explained how to use it in an amazing way that he felt so comfortable and her and wanted to see her again and again! It has helped him to find the confidence to express his thoughts and feelings so I can talk to him about them. He loves the characters and the creativity of it all. It doesn’t feel so scary to talk about things when using it as enjoyment can be found as he learns a few skills to help him along the way.”

“What I saw the children learning in their iSpace lessons at Cumnor House Sussex gives me hope for a better future”.

“I believe that without a programme like iSpace Wellbeing we would require the investment of substantial time and effort by our own teachers in preparing a coherent scheme of work covering all year groups at a time when they are already ensuring their own subject specific teaching as well as contributing to the busy life of the school.”

“The iSpace programme provides our staff with the perfect starting point, comprehensive background material and a security as to the clinical background and research behind that material. It provides an ability to aver to all parents that we not only say that the well being of every child is our key aim but that we have invested in what we believe to be the gold standard provider.”

“I think that iSpace is a fantastic concept. Having used the framework and toolkit with both of my children I have found it to be enjoyable and engaging and something I believe will be of great benefit to parents, teachers, healthcare professionals and children. The concept is beautifully designed and illustrated. This child friendly approach really captures the children’s attention and eases them into conversation about their wellbeing. I believe this toolkit will do as it suggests which is to prepare children to live life ready!”

“iSpace Wellbeing has strengthened that three-way link between children, teachers and parents – a link which is essential for the success of a wellbeing curriculum.”

“A wonderful resource to use with children to help them make sense of an ever changing world”

“You are doing pioneering and very important work”.

“What Cumnor House is doing through the iSpace and #iWonder Curriculum is amazing. I would like to think that iSpace could have helped me. The iSpace lesson that I saw today on resilience certainly had things I would have found helpful and could have helped me bounce back”.

“It provides the language of feelings so children are able to describe their emotions with greater ease. In addition it provides a  “toolkit”  of things that our children (and teachers!) can actively use when they find themselves struggling for whatever reason.”

“The whole school is now using a common language to describe their emotions. Children are able to identify tools that can help them when they feel angry or overwhelmed”

“Cumnor committed to piloting iSpace in 2016 meaning that iSpace Wellbeing and #iWonder are now fully embedded within the fabric of our school and incorporated into the daily routine for all children from Nursery to Year 8. The strength of the curriculum really came into its own during lockdown earlier this year and we have certainly seen our children demonstrate that they have the tools and language they need during these challenging times. We are continually looking to support new innovations in wellbeing and delighted to be piloting the Wellbeing Compass app as part of #iWonder, further helping our Year 7 and 8 pupils understand their emotional, physical, social and mental health.”
