THE NOOK EXTRAS - SUMMER 2026
Creativity for Wellbeing
The Nook offers a small, calm, and welcoming space for young people to create, learn, and flourish.
At The Nook, we believe creativity is a powerful way to connect with young people who may be facing difficulties at school, are currently out of education, experiencing anxiety, trauma, or illness, or who are neurodivergent. Through therapeutic art and creative writing, we provide a calm, nurturing space where young people can feel safe, heard, and supported. Our sessions are gentle, young person-led, and designed to help each individual build confidence, express themselves freely, and experience creativity without pressure or judgement.
Using our experience and expertise, we have developed creative activities that support young people’s emotional, social, and mental wellbeing.
We genuinely want to see every young person thrive and have fun creating!
What our parents are saying
We signed my son up for therapeutic art as he's currently not attending school. He's very keen on creating things and has a special interest in painting military models.
His anxiety has been really high, and having been with Hannah at The Nook, I can tell he's growing in confidence. Such a great place, great people and opportunity for children and young people to be part of something in the community. Thanks so much to Ali and Hannah
My daughter can’t wait to attend sessions and workshops. Ali gives great feedback so parents don’t feel left out of any loop. The Nook is a gem and we’re so lucky to have it here in Eynsham.
The creative space is calming, inclusive and safe. If you are looking for a space where your child is listened to, they can deregulate after a busy school day and where they can let their imagination and creativity thrive, this is the place to be.
Our Calm Corner for our young people to relax and parents who might need to stay awhile.
