What makes you feel cozy? Is it a dim-lit room, candles burning lowly, a warm bath, knitted blankets and fuzzy socks? As adults, this is what usually comes to mind when we think of coziness.
Being cozy in a space encompasses the feeling of safety, security and completion. We can appreciate it and crave it, however, it can be hard to put into words.
Children are exactly the same as us. A warm, cozy environment to play, learn and relax in is essential to a balanced life and at Kid’s Island Nursery, we’ve been working very hard to achieve a sense of coziness around the nursery.
There is a wonderful word in Norwegian called “Hygge” which encompasses the meaning of being warm, safe, cozy, content and feelings of wellness under one lovely umbrella.
It’s important to remember that everyone’s definition of cozy is different. It may be sitting down to look at a book on their own, laying down for a snooze with a blanket on the carpet or singing songs with their friends.
What matters most is that children are content enough in their setting to grow in confidence and settle down. #theinspirephilsophy
