At Dorothy Gardner Centre, Mary Paterson Nursery School and Queens Park Children’s Centre we believe that all children have the right to be treated with equal respect and dignity, regardless of any disabilities or needs that they might have.

We aim for children to learn life-long skills in healthy eating as part of a healthy lifestyle and to ensure parents are involved wherever possible.
