A short, practical reflection tool to help early years settings consider whether children can genuinely see themselves, their families and their communities reflected in the environment around them.

This resource encourages teams to look beyond tokenistic representation and think about what children can see, access and experience every day.

It supports reflection around:

• family structures

• culture and ethnicity

• home languages

• disability and SEND

• skin tones and hair types

• gender stereotypes

• everyday representation

• inclusive books, dolls and small-world resources

• meaningful participation for all children

The review also includes a short action section to help settings identify what is already working well, what may be missing and what could be improved next.

Ideal for nurseries, childminders, SENCos, managers and room leaders who want to strengthen inclusion, belonging and representation across their provision.

A simple resource for staff meetings, room reviews, environment audits and reflective practice.

Because every child should be able to look around and feel: “People like me belong here.”
