Special Needs
It is part of our Nursery's policy to make sure that we meet the needs of each individual child and we therefore take account of any special needs a child may have. Puddleducks works to the requirements of the 1993 Education Act and The Special Educational Needs Code of Practice (2000).
Equal Opportunities
At Puddleducks, we are committed to valuing diversity by providing equality of opportunity and anti-discriminatory practice for all children and families. Every family will be respected, accepted and welcomed regardless of colour, race, religion, nationality, disability or ethnic origin.
Behaviour
In accordance with Montessori philosophy emphasis is placed on fostering self discipline and good social relationships. We aim to teach children to behave in socially acceptable ways and to understand the needs and rights of others. This will be achieved by all staff providing good role models and by using positive strategies for handling inconsiderate behaviour.
