Equality and Diversity is at the heart of our thriving, vibrant, and inclusive environment where young children, our staff team and families are given the opportunity to explore and celebrate their own differences and those of others. Most importantly, each and every person feels part of the same community in which their own uniqueness is valued. Every member of our nursery community is treated fairly, with respect and dignity.
We operate an equal opportunities policy both for the children in our care and the staff we employ.
