The foundations of emotional wellbeing start today.
Introducing Mr. Men Little Miss Mindset for Early Years — a complete, accredited early years wellbeing programme brought to life with the much-loved characters, and ready for your own team to deliver.
Six challenges we hear again and again.
Sound familiar? These are the pressures early years settings tell us about most.
Big feelings

Finding the words
Younger children may not yet have the language to express worry or overwhelm.
Standing out
Parents are choosing settings that go above and beyond for wellbeing.
Recruit, retain & burnout
of nursery staff have considered leaving the sector. Keeping great people means investing in them.

NSPCC, 2024The home–setting gap

Much-loved characters. A proven method. One Superpower at a time.
Every session tells the story of a character who meets a challenge every child will recognise. Helping them are Oscar and Annie, MiniMe Mindfulness®'s child Mindset Mentors — real children, in a voice just like your children's own. Each 45-minute session (flexing to 30 for younger groups) follows the six-step Mindset Mentors Method™, building a toolkit of 25 Superpowers across the year with the 25 Superpowers Framework™.
Build Connection
Settle the children and create a safe, familiar space.
Breathe & Reset
Calm the body before the mind can learn.
Guided Meditation
Led by a voice just like theirs — Oscar and Annie.
Story-Based Learning
The Superpower is introduced through the character's story.

The 25 Superpowers Framework™ supports Personal, Social & Emotional Development (PSED) — a prime area of the EYFS statutory framework your setting is inspected against.
Three voices. Real evidence.
Our course evaluations are captured digitally at the start, middle and end of the programme — gathering feedback from parents and carers, the child, and your practitioners. A robust evidence base for EYFS PSED tracking, transition reporting and inspection.
The Impact Report. Want the full story on paper? Your setting's three-voice evaluation data, analysed and written up at the end of the year as a bespoke Impact Report — ready for your SEF, governors or group. Created per setting, tailored to your requirements — discussed on your discovery call.

Questions we're asked most.
Will this replace what our team already knows?
Not at all — it complements and champions it. Your practitioners already understand child development, and often bring trauma-informed practice. The licence gives them the tools to turn that knowledge into fun, consistent sessions that land — with the planning done for them. If they can lead circle time, they'll fly with this.
How much planning time does it add?
Minimal by design. Each session arrives complete — storyboard, lesson plan, guided meditation and activities — so preparation is minutes, not evenings.
How does it help with inspection?
PSED is a prime area of the EYFS. The programme evidences all three early learning goals with a session-by-session mapping insert and three-voice evaluations — turning wellbeing from an add-on into evidenced coverage of the framework.
Can we use the characters in our own marketing?
The characters appear in the licensed programme materials for use within your setting, so they can't be used in your own marketing — but you won't be announcing it alone. Your licence includes a ready-made Launch Pack: approved wording and imagery to announce the programme to your families, internal guides to help your team explain the programme and the features available to parents, and a dedicated web link that takes staff and parents straight to their training and support.
Is this the same as MiniMe Mindfulness®?
It's the same award-winning method, from the same family. MiniMe Mindfulness® is our live, Mentor-delivered programme; this is delivered in-house by your own team under licence — with the characters lighting the way.
We're a primary school — does the licence cover the whole school?
The Early Years Licence covers your EYFS provision — your Nursery and Reception classes. For older children there are two routes: Mindset for Kids brings the same method to Key Stage 1 and 2, delivered live in school by MiniMe Mindfulness® Mindset Mentors; and Mentoring 4 Kids by Kids™, our online course for Key Stage 2 and 3, is available to any school, anywhere. Ask on your discovery call and we'll map the whole school together.
What happens after the first year?
Your licence renews at £595 a year — continuing your right to deliver the programme, plus the hub, training for new team members, ongoing support and updated resources. Journals and stickers can be topped up any time so every new child has their own.
And if we decide not to renew?
No hard feelings — the plush, props and books stay with you. The licensed programme materials — the lesson plans and storyboards — are simply returned, and your hub access closes. If you'd like to rejoin later, we'll be delighted to have you back.
