Inclusive practice recognises, values and promotes the diversity of children and families, and ensures they receive equitable treatment, representation, opportunities and respect. Inclusive practice respects and responds to the unique experiences of children and their families, ensuring that all children receive appropriate support to participate fully in learning. During their time with us, it is essential that children feel confident in who they are. Implementing inclusive practice within our pedagogical approach can ensure that all children have a strong sense of belonging, feeling that they are valued and represented in our setting, and have an equal opportunity to thrive. We know that children are influenced by their environment and the adults around them and that they learn from everything they see, hear and do. We have a responsibility to influence children’s development positively through creating an accessible and inclusive environment in our setting, one that values and celebrates everyone.
