At Surbiton Hill Nursery School we have completed a whole school Attachment Aware Award in 2020/2021 

We have learnt about the brain and its development in young children from birth to five.  We have learnt about how trauma can affect the brain and influence our behaviour responses, and all staff have trained in emotion coaching as a way to support behavior and help children when they feel dysregulated. We are in the process of updating our behaviour policy to reflect this nurturing approach. We were able to complete this through the Virtual School in Kingston and Richmond and would like to share our experiences with the wider community and parents.
