Standards compliance

1. All pages on this site are Bobby AAA approved , complying with all the Bobby guidelines . This is always a judgment call; many accessibility features can be measured, but many can not. We have reviewed all the guidelines and believe that all these pages are in compliance.
2. All pages on this site are WCAG AAA approved, complying with all priority 1, 2, and 3 guidelines of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines . Again, this is a judgment call; many guidelines are intentionally vague and can not be tested automatically. We have reviewed all the guidelines and believe that all these pages are in compliance.
3. All pages on this site use structured semantic markup. H2 tags are used for main titles, H3 tags for subtitles.

Navigation aids

1. All pages have a menu that is accessible by using the Tab key and are Tab indexed so each menu item follows the previous using the Tab key method.
   
   
   • Tab index 1 - Home page
   • Tab index 2 - Nursery
   • Tab index 3 - Gallery
   • Tab index 4 - Notices
   • Tab index 5 - Ofsted
   • Tab index 6 - Staff
   • Tab index 7 - Faq's
   • Tab index 8 - Contact

Links

1. Many links have title attributes which describe the link in greater detail, unless the text of the link already fully describes the target (such as the headline of an article).
2. Links are written to make sense out of context.

Images

1. All content images used in this site include descriptive ALT attributes. Purely decorative graphics include null ALT attributes.
2. Complex images include LONGDESC attributes or inline descriptions to explain the significance of each image to non-visual readers.
3. When viewed as text only each image is accompanied by a 'D link' which links to a text only description to explain the significance of that image to non-visual readers.

Visual design

1. This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout.
2. This site uses only relative font sizes, compatible with the user-specified "text size" option in visual browsers.
3. If your browser or browsing device does not support style sheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.
