Equality and diversity
Willow Pre-school operates a robust equal opportunity policy and children are offered places as they become available regardless of ethnicity, religion or additional needs. We have a designated SENCO and Language Lead who will liaise with you, your child's key person and other professionals as required. The waiting list is operated in birth date order: please give your child's details to any member of staff.
