Whitton Day Nursery and its employees are committed to our policy of Equal Opportunities towards all children, families, visitors and staff.

It is our intention that all children should be able to enjoy the full range of activities, play equipment and materials without regard to their physical, sensory or educational abilities; race, colour or ethnic origin. Our children will not be discriminated against for their race, skin colour, religious beliefs, gender, ability or perceived social standing

Staff, parents/carers and visitors shall also not be discriminated against on any of these grounds or for their sexual orientation, state of health, employment or financial status

 The Nursery staff are trained to actively promote anti-discriminatory practices and attitudes amongst children, volunteers, visitors and parents.  Language or behaviour deemed to be offensive or discriminatory to any of the above groups is not acceptable and will not be tolerated in the Nursery

Any parent/carer or child known to practice discriminatory behaviour in the community will not be accepted into the Nursery unless they are willing to learn to accept those who are different to themselves as valuable members of the community or, if they are already in attendance, will be asked to do the same or leave

Any member of staff, or volunteers, who is found to practice discriminatory behaviour either within the Nursery or the wider community, whether or not during working hours, will be subject to disciplinary procedures in accordance with the Nursery’s Code of Conduct (staff)

Children attending Whitton Day Nursery will be actively taught non-discriminatory attitudes and behaviour in a non-threatening manner with the best interest of every child, and their families, at heart.         

This policy is determined by current legislation under English Law and is fully endorsed by Whitton Day Nursery
