At The Rainbow Sprinkles, we know that parenting can sometimes feel overwhelming — you want to give your child love, security, and confidence, but you may not always know exactly how.
That’s where the Circle of Security (COS) comes in: a licensed, relationship-based early intervention programme designed to help parents and caregivers better understand and support their children's emotional needs.
Our founder is a registered Circle of Security Parenting™ facilitator, bringing certified expertise to guide you in building strong, secure bonds with your child.
The Circle of Security is a simple, powerful model that helps adults see the world through their child's eyes. It is based on decades of attachment research, showing that children’s emotional security depends on safe, nurturing relationships with their caregivers.
Using a visual “circle,” COS helps parents recognise when their child needs them to:
Parents are supported to notice, interpret, and meet their child’s needs more sensitively, helping their child build trust, resilience, and healthy self-esteem.
Developed by Kent Hoffman, Glen Cooper, and Bert Powell in the 1990s, Circle of Security draws from over 50 years of attachment theory research, particularly the foundational work of John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth.
Originally designed as a clinical programme for at-risk families, COS has now been adapted for a wide range of settings including parenting groups, early childhood services, schools, and mental health programmes around the world.
Today, thousands of parents and professionals have been trained in COS, and it is recognised internationally as a gold standard programme for promoting secure parent-child relationships.

Circle of Security helps parents move beyond simply managing their child’s behavior to understanding the emotional needs behind the behavior. It empowers parents with insights and tools to connect, comfort, and guide their children through everyday ups and downs.
The heart of Circle of Security is the message:
"All children need a secure relationship to thrive — and all parents can learn to be that secure base, no matter where they start."
