Our British Values

At Tendercubs, we are committed to promoting British Values and fostering a culture of inclusivity, respect, and diversity.

We believe that children should grow up in an environment that teaches them to be kind, respectful, and open-minded, preparing them to become responsible citizens in a multicultural society.

Promoting British Values

As part of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, we embed British Values into our daily activities.

We Encourage Children to Understand and Embrace:

  • Democracy

    We teach children about making choices, sharing opinions, and respecting others. Through group discussions, voting on activities, and collaborative play, children learn that their voices matter.

  • Rule of Law

    We help children understand the importance of rules and why they exist. By following simple nursery rules (e.g., sharing, being kind, taking turns), they develop a sense of fairness, respect, and responsibility.

  • Mutual Respect & Tolerance

    We encourage children to respect different cultures, beliefs, and backgrounds, celebrating festivals from around the world and learning about different traditions. Kindness and empathy are at the heart of everything we do.

  • Individual Liberty

    We promote independence and free choice, allowing children to express their thoughts and explore their interests in a safe and supportive environment.

Celebrating Diversity

At Tendercubs, we believe that diversity enriches our learning community. We actively teach children about different cultures, languages, traditions, and family structures.

Ways we Encourage Children to Embrace Diversity:

  • Cultural Festivals & Celebrations

    We explore events like Diwali, Chinese New Year, Eid, Hanukkah, Christmas, Black History Month, and more.

  • Diverse Storytelling

    Our book collection features stories from different cultures, genders, abilities, and family backgrounds to promote inclusivity.

  • Music, Art & Food from Around the World

    Children engage in activities that introduce them to global traditions through creative expression.

  • Encouraging Inclusion

    We ensure that every child, regardless of background or ability, feels valued and included in our setting.

By promoting British Values and embracing diversity, we help children develop:

  • ✓ A strong sense of belonging

  • ✓ Respect for others and different perspectives

  • ✓ Confidence in expressing their own thoughts and beliefs

  • ✓ A positive, inclusive attitude towards the world around them
