Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
At Kidzrus Nursery we take great care to treat each individual as a person in their own right, with equal rights and responsibilities to any other individual, whether they are an adult or a child.
We are committed to providing equality of opportunity and anti-discriminatory practice for all children and families according to their individual needs. Discrimination on the grounds of gender, age, race, religion or belief, marriage or civil partnership, disability, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, pregnancy or maternity, ethnic or national origin, or political belief has no place within our nursery.
Admissions and Service Provision
The nursery is accessible to all children and families in the local community and further afield through a comprehensive and inclusive admissions policy. The nursery strives to ensure that all services and projects are accessible and relevant to all groups and individuals in the community within targeted age groups.
Early Learning Framework
Early learning opportunities offered in the nursery encourage children to develop positive attitudes to people who are different from them. It encourages children to empathise with others and to begin to develop the skills of critical thinking.
