Equal opportunities policy
Here at Highdale day nursery we acknowledge all cultures, religions, and races not only in our society, but also in the wider world. We believe that equal opportunities are essential for the development of each child.
*The nursery staff are committed to providing a positive attitude throughout the nursery towards gender, religion, disability, race and age. We do this by being positive role models and providing non-stereotyped images through the use of toys, books, posters etc.
*All adults and children will be treated equally, valuing and appreciating each others views, similarities, opinions and differences.
*If it is found that discrimination is taking place by a staff member, parent or child the managers will address this issue promptly and take necessary action.
Highdale day nursery is committed to the inclusion of all children. We believe that every child should be given the same opportunities and be encouraged to meet their full potential. Children and families will be fully supported and where integration is possible we will ensure good access, support, expertise and teamwork.
All accidents are recorded on individual accident forms and need to be signed by parent/carers, this is part of our health and safety requirements. If serious accidents occur the emergency numbers will be contacted immediately and medical advice sought.
