Nurture Groups (NGs) and Learning Support Zones (LSZs) started to operate as a pilot project in state schools in Malta in 2008. There are more than 60 NGs and LSZs in primary, middle and secondary schools in Malta, out of a total of 89 state schools, with more than a hundred educators supporting children and young people through the nurture approach. This small-scale study aimed to present and discuss the experiences of eight educators (teachers) and learning support zone educators (LSEs) working in NGs and LSZs in schools in Malta. Using semi-structure interviews, the study also described personal characteristics that the participants feel they need to have in their role as NG or LSZ educators, their experiences and the challenges they face. Findings from this study suggest that the role of a NG or LSZ educator is a role that brings about positive change. Also, participants suggested that a NG or LSZ educator needs to have several positive personal attributes. Findings in the current study suggest that there is the perception of a lack of understanding on the nurture approach from mainstream educators.
