Inclusion and Diversity
Our Mission
At Tiddlywinks Nursery, equality and inclusion are embedded within everyday practice to ensure all children and families feel valued and respected. We provide an inclusive environment where children have equal access to learning opportunities regardless of their background, culture, gender, religion, language, or ability. Resources and activities reflect diverse cultures, family structures, and abilities to promote children’s understanding of the wider world. Staff work in partnership with parents to support each child’s individual needs and adapt the environment and learning experiences to ensure all children can participate fully. Discriminatory behaviour or language is challenged appropriately, and staff model respectful attitudes to promote kindness, empathy, and fairness. Our practice aligns with the principles of the Equality Act 2010 and the statutory requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage.
Our Staff
The three generations of women — Sue, Chloe and Emily — demonstrate a shared commitment to developing their skills and knowledge through university study. Across the generations, each are strengthening their understanding of professional practice, including the importance of inclusive practice within early years education. Through their studies they are also developing the ability to reflect critically on their experiences, enabling them to evaluate their practice and continue improving their knowledge and skills. This ongoing learning not only supports their own professional development but also enables them to better support their teams and mentor apprentices within the setting. By sharing their knowledge and modelling reflective practice, they contribute to creating a supportive learning environment for colleagues and apprentices while promoting continuous improvement within the setting.
