- To ensure that all children have access to an appropriate broad curriculum, are considered as individuals, have their needs met, are given opportunities to become independent, and have access to all areas of the curriculum and provision (equality of opportunity).
- To reflect to the local and wider community and make all children and their families feel comfortable, welcome and included.
