Non-denominational policy in the Nursery
The nursery is non-denominational. We respect and welcome children and parents of all religions, faiths and beliefs or none.

All services should reflect the council’s Equal Opportunities Policies and be anti-racist, anti-sexist, and multi-cultural and recognise the rights of both men and women to work or to care for children.

Equal Opportunities and Social Inclusion

The Head of Nursery is responsible for ensuring that all Council employees are aware of and respect the Regional Policy of equal opportunities for all, irrespective of socio-economic circumstances, educational and physical abilities, sex, race or religion, to participate fully in all aspects of the Nursery activities.

Within the Health and Well-Being, Religious and Moral and Social Sciences Experiences of Curriculum for Excellence, children are given the opportunity to learn about, respect and value diversity.

Within our Personal and Social Development Curriculum, pupils are made aware of the different kinds of discrimination and their effects.

Equality and Fairness
We aim to promote equality of opportunity and good relations in all aspects of the nursery’s work with all children, their families and the community.

Data Protection Act 1998
Information on children and young people, parent/carers and guardians is stored safely. The information is protected in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998 and may only be disclosed in accordance with the Codes of Practice. For further information please contact the Nursery.

Bullying
Glasgow‘s Educational establishments have an entitlement “to work and Play in a learning environment in which they feel valued, respected and safe and are free from all forms of abuse and bullying, or discrimination”  Parents and carers have a significant role to play in helping to address this problem. The nursery has an anti-bullying policy in line with council guidelines.

Complaints, Suggestions and Appreciation

Sandaig Nursery strives to maintain and improve our service. Please can we ask that you inform us of any suggestions or complaints, as soon as possible should any issue arise.

In the first instance you may wish to speak with your child’s key-worker. However, if you have a concern about any aspect of the service you should contact Marie (Head of Nursery).

There are occasions when the Head of Nursery is unable or does not resolve your issue to your satisfaction. If this is the case, Glasgow City Council have a robust Complaints Procedure dealt with through the Customer Care Team.
