Taken from a policy for Equal Opportunities and Diversity Policy;
All members of staff and volunteers must treat each child or adult with total respect no matter what their culture, gender, race, disability or special need, sexual orientation religion or belief

Diversity- is differences between individuals and groups in society which arise from gender, social culture or religious, backgrounds, ethnic origins, family structures, sexuality, appearances or disabilities.

In the crèche we provide children with dolls of different ethnicity dolls. We have posters that show how to welcome parents and children in different languages. We have dolls houses that have dolls with disabilities e.g. some of the dolls are in wheel chairs. We provide toys that are age appropriate for all the children that attend the crèche.

Equality – is about making sure that everyone is treated fairly and given fair equal chances. Equality is not about treating everyone in the same way but making sure that their needs are met in different ways to suit them.

All children in the crèche are encourage to play with all toys that they wish to play with, we don't gender stereotype. We provide dressing up clothes of different cultures.

Inclusion- is the opposite of discrimination in so far that all necessary steps are taken to encourage eveeyone to understand that they can use all the services in which the children's center provide regardless of their age, gender, disbility, religion, sexuailty etc.

All children within the crèche are included regardless of their background, or any special needs that they may have.

    There are some potential risks of discrimination. When families are experiencing or have experienced discrimination can lead to missed opportunities, this could affect children and young peoples experiences in life which could affect some development. Being affected by discrimination can also cause low self-esteem, low confidence, confused identity, fear of rejection and little sense of self-worth or self-value.
