Accessibility statement

How accessible this website is, and how to get information in a different format.

This accessibility statement applies to the Priory Oaks Day Nursery website. The website is run by Priory Oaks Day Nursery, part of Tees Valley Collaborative Enterprises Limited.

We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • change colours, contrast levels and fonts using your browser or device settings
  • zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate most of the website using a keyboard or speech recognition software
  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader

We have also made the text on the website as simple as possible to understand. AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

How accessible this website is

We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible:

  • our policy documents are PDFs made from Word files and are not fully accessible to screen reader software. If you need a policy in a different format, ask the nursery
  • photos in the gallery open in a pop-up viewer, which may be hard to use with a keyboard or screen reader
  • the photo and testimonial carousels on the home and gallery pages move on automatically and do not have a pause button
  • the cookie message is provided by CookieYes and we cannot fully control its accessibility

Technical information about this website’s accessibility

Priory Oaks Day Nursery is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

  • Some policy documents are Word files that are not fully tagged for screen readers. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criteria 1.3.1 (info and relationships) and 4.1.2 (name, role, value). We will replace them with accessible versions when our updated policies are published.
  • The photo and testimonial carousels move automatically and cannot be paused, stopped or hidden. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.2.2 (pause, stop, hide). We plan to stop them moving automatically or add a pause control.

Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations

Many of our older PDFs and Word documents do not meet accessibility standards. The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they are not essential to providing our services. Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.

What we’re doing to improve accessibility

  • In September 2026 we redesigned this website with larger text, stronger colour contrast, sentence case headings and layouts that work on phones.
  • We added text descriptions to photos and links, and made sure each page has one main heading and headings in a logical order.
  • We will publish our updated policies as accessible documents.
