Celebrating Pride and Disability Pride at Fortis Green Nursery

Celebrating Pride is an important part of the nursery's ethos. They celebrate and embrace all cultural events and festivities monthly, ensuring every child feels included and respected.

Their approach to teaching promotes diversity, equality, confidence, and high self-esteem, helping children become happy, confident learners who respect others.

As July marks Disability Pride Month, the nursery continues this work with planned activities and stories that foster understanding and acceptance of disability. These efforts are a natural extension of their everyday curriculum, aiming to ensure that all children grow up feeling valued and inclusive.
