Treating every child as an individual

Childcare providers must ensure that every child at their setting is included and supported, regardless of ethnic background, culture, language, gender, socioeconomic background or disability.

At Jubilee Gems nursery in Padworth, Berkshire, all children are welcomed and included, respected and listened to. The nursery team promote positive attitudes to diversity and differences in children, valuing the contribution and achievement of all.

Focus is placed on the child’s individual interests and needs, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).

Practitioners at the nursery follow these principles: • Include and support every child • Ensure every child can participate in activities • Provide resources that reflect the background of each child • Accurately track and observe to create next steps • Follow individual interests and use these to promote development • Do not give children labels • Ensure children feel happy and secure to develop • Treat all children and their families equally and with respect • Remember any development is a great step forward for every child.

Treating every child as a unique individual helps to develop their personalities, talents and abilities. It also makes the child responsible for their own actions and encourages independence.

Sian Caine, manager at Jubilee Gems, says: “Our nursery offers a caring, safe learning environment where your child will be happy, nurtured and encouraged to develop and achieve their potential. We believe every child is unique with his or her own preferences and distinctive experiences that make them the child they are today and shapes the person they will become.”
