Accessibility Statement

 

This statement was last updated on 28 May 2025.

 

At Willow Tree Childcare, we are committed to ensuring that our website [www.willowtreechildcare.co.uk] is accessible to all users, including individuals with disabilities. We believe in equal access to information and services and are working to ensure our online presence meets current accessibility standards.

 

What Web Accessibility Means

An accessible website enables all visitors, including those with visual, auditory, cognitive, or motor impairments, to navigate, understand, and interact with the site meaningfully and independently. This is achieved through the compatibility of our content with assistive technologies and the implementation of inclusive design principles.

​

Accessibility Adjustments on This Site

This website has been developed in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, to Level AA compliance. The following measures have been implemented to ensure accessibility:

 

  • The site language is defined for screen readers.

  • Page structures use logical heading hierarchies (H1, H2, etc.).

  • All images include meaningful alternative (alt) text.

  • Site content can be navigated using keyboard-only access.

  • Colour contrast combinations meet minimum standards to aid visibility.

  • Motion effects are minimised to reduce the risk of triggering sensory responses.

  • Video and audio files are provided with captions or transcripts where applicable.

  • The reading and navigation order is logical and consistent.

 

We regularly audit the site using accessibility tools and manual checks, and continue to improve accessibility as technologies and standards evolve.

​

Declaration of Partial Compliance

Some pages may contain embedded content from third-party providers (e.g. YouTube, external documents) that may not fully conform to WCAG standards. We declare partial compliance for these elements and are working to address or provide alternative formats where possible.

​
