Statement of intent

It is our intention to make Acorn accessible to all children and families from the local community of Shefford and the surrounding areas.

In order to achieve this aim, we operate the following admissions policy.
· We ensure that the existence of the setting is widely advertised in places accessible to all sections of the community.
· We ensure that information about our setting is accessible and, where appropriate, in different languages.
· We arrange our waiting list in birth order.
· Priority will be given to ensuring that children who receive nursery education funding will be allocated their full entitlement before places are offered to younger children
· In addition we may take into account siblings already attending the setting.
· We welcome fathers and mothers, other relations and other carers, including childminders in all our activities.
· We describe our setting and its practices in terms of how it treats individuals, regardless of their gender, special educational needs, disabilities, background, religion, ethnicity or competence in spoken English.
· We aim to ensure that children with disabilities are able to take a full part in the life of the setting.
· We monitor the gender and ethnic background of children joining the group to ensure that no accidental discrimination is taking place.
· We make our equal opportunities policy widely known.
· We are flexible about attendance patterns to accommodate the needs of individual children and families.
