In order to achieve this aim, we operate the following admissions procedure:

• We ensure that the existence of our setting is advertised in places accessible to all sections of the community.

• We ensure that information about our setting is accessible; in written and spoken form .If requested we will endeavour to provide information in Braille, or through British Sign Language or in translation.

• We welcome fathers and mothers, other relations and other carers, including childminders and people from all cultural, ethnic, religious and social groups with and without disabilities or special educational needs.
