  "text": "(1) No child is refused later years provision or, whilst being cared for, is treated less favourably than another child by reason of—\n(a) the race, home language, family background or gender of the child,\n(b) the religion or belief of the child or the child’s parents, or\n(c) any disability (within the meaning of section 1(1) of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995) or learning difficulty (within the meaning of section 312(2) of the Education Act 1996) which the child may have.\n(2) In relation to a physical feature of the relevant premises which makes it impossible or unreasonably difficult for disabled children to make use of the later years provision, the later years provider is treated as complying with this paragraph if the duty in section 21 of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (duty of providers of services to make adjustments) has been complied with.",
