Championing a workforce and nursery environment that is truly representative of the communities we serve.
Kids Planet is a proud equal opportunities employer, actively promoting the benefits of a diverse workforce. Our aim is for our team to reflect the vibrant society and wonderful families who attend our nurseries. These values run through everything we do.
We expect everyone to be treated with respect, creating a working and learning environment free of discrimination, bullying, or harassment. We recognise how important it is for each individual, whether a child, parent, or employee, to feel valued, respected, and able to reach their full potential.
Recognising and responding fairly to the individual needs and identities of others. It provides everyone with an opportunity to reach their full potential and an equal chance to live their life as they choose.
The active process of identifying, understanding, and breaking down barriers to participation and belonging. It ensures every voice is heard and every person has a seat at the table.
Understanding that every individual is entirely unique, and actively recognising, celebrating, and valuing those individual differences.
How do we bring these values to life for the children in our care? We recognise that treating everyone the *same* is not the same as treating everyone with *equal consideration*. Here is how we put inclusion into practice every day:
• Mindful Language & Cultural Discovery
Our staff acknowledge the beliefs of others and sensitively challenge discriminatory language or stereotypes, sparking positive conversations about the diverse world we live in.
We use culturally rich stories, poems, music, and room displays positioned at the child’s level to bring awareness of global differences directly into their environment.
• Global Tastes
We use food as an opportunity to raise awareness of multiple ethnicities. Tasting cuisines from around the world develops young minds and opens up dialogue about the wonderful variety of cultures.
• Curiosity & Roleplay
From setting up a Curiosity Room to explore Ramadan, to creating a bakery with breads from around the world, or decorating the home corner for Diwali. We fill curiosity shelves with items like Turkish eyes, castanets, and Indian elephants to let children touch, feel, and understand different cultures.
We recognise that men are extremely poorly represented in the Early Years education workforce, making up just 3% of the total nationally. This lack of men is both a symptom and cause of gender inequality.
Educating young children should be a job for everyone, not just women, and we believe we should be modelling this clearly to the children and families in our care.
In collaboration with the Fatherhood Institute and the MITEY (Men in The Early Years) network, we launched a dedicated recruitment and training project to support cohorts of men through our Early Years qualifications.

For our commitment to building an inclusive workforce, we won the WorldSkillsUK Diversity and Inclusion Heroes Award for Programme of the Year.
