We acknowledge the uniqueness of each child attending the service. We promote equality & diversity and value differences. We consider the needs of the child as a citizen within the context of the family and their culture. We build relationships of mutual trust and respect with children, adults, parents and the community. We encourage holistic learning, where children take an active role in relevant & meaningful experiences. We base practice on sound knowledge, research and theories, while at the same time recognising the limitations and uncertainties of these. We work to fulfil the right of all children and their families for access to services of high quality. Based on the above principles Fonthill Lodge has developed the following Children’s Charter: Children’s welfare and their rights to a secure, healthy and happy childhood are paramount.
