We incorporate multicultural education into our curriculum, helping children understand and appreciate different cultures and perspectives. Our team is trained to recognise and support individual needs, ensuring that every child feels valued and included.

A setting that incorporates equality, diversity, and inclusion can benefit children’s social and emotional development as well as a cultural appreciation of others. We are committed to ensuring our practice is inclusive and diverse. Celebrating diversity is especially important as it introduces cultures and customs that children may not have been exposed to yet." - Director of Early Years, Rageena Tahir.
