Mytchett, Surrey
Religious and Cultural Festivals
Statement of intent
Our setting is committed to valuing diversity.
Aim
We aim to embrace learning opportunities from many sources.
Methods
The nursery is not associated with a specific religion and encourages children of any race or religion. We respect all aspects of their cultures and seize upon different traditions and festivals as a valuable shared learning experience.
We regularly celebrate the following festivals:
Harvest
Thanksgiving
Diwali
Hannukah
Christmas
Chinese New Year
Mother’s Day
Eid
Easter
In addition, should a child attend the nursery , whose family celebrate festivals other than those already stated, the nursery staff will take this opportunity to develop their own religious awareness , as they consult with the child’s parents about possible ways to celebrate the festival and develop awareness and respect for their faith within the nursery environment.
