Equal Opportunies

Westfield Nursery takes great care to treat each individual as a person in their own right, with equal rights and responsibilities to any other individual, whether they be an adult or a child. Discrimination under sex, race, religion, colour, creed, marital status, ethnic or national origin, sexual orientation or political belief has no place within Westfield Nursery.

Westfield Nursery and their staff are committed to:-

• Encourage positive role models, displayed through toys, imaginary play and activities that promote non-stereotyped images. Books will be selected to promote such images of men and women, boys and girls.
• Encourage respect for all cultures, beliefs and attitudes by providing a range of multicultural toys, books, dressing up clothes, posters and displays. Religious / non religious festivals are celebrated in the nursery through craft activities, books, cooking, art, music and snacks.

Special Educational Needs 

Westfield Nursery is committed to the integration of children with special needs. All children have the right to be educated and develop to their full potential alongside each other. It is a positive experience to be able to share the same opportunities and overcome any difficulties together. We believe that all children have the right to experience and develop alongside their peers no matter what their individual needs are.
