Children’s Rights

Children’s Rights at Kate Greenaway Nursery

At Kate Greenaway Nursery, we believe every child has the right to feel safe, valued, and respected. Our approach is guided by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), which sets out the fundamental rights that all children should enjoy.

What Are Children’s Rights?

Children’s rights are the basic things every child needs to grow, learn, and thrive. These include:

• The right to be safe – Every child should feel secure and protected from harm.
• The right to play and learn – Play is essential for development, and learning opportunities should be accessible to all.
• The right to be heard – Children’s voices matter. We listen to their ideas and respect their opinions.
• The right to health and well-being – Access to healthy food, care, and emotional support.
• The right to equality – Every child should be treated fairly, regardless of background or ability.

Our Commitment

We embed these rights in everything we do:

• Creating a nurturing environment where children feel safe and confident.
• Encouraging independence and choice in daily activities.
• Promoting respect, kindness, and inclusion in our community.
