We believe that children thrive best when they have a dedicated key person to connect with—someone who understands them and their families, and who can address their individual needs. Our commitment to the key person approach not only benefits the child but also supports parents and enhances the overall setting. This method fosters secure relationships that promote children's development, instill confidence in parents, and create a joyful environment for both children and staff.
Our goal is for children to feel safe, engaged, and happy in our setting, developing a sense of security and comfort with our staff. We also aim to empower parents, fostering their trust in their children's well-being and encouraging them to view themselves as active partners in our community. By considering the unique needs and circumstances of each child and family, we strive to create a welcoming environment where children can settle in quickly and easily.
The key person role is outlined in the Safeguarding and Welfare Requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage, ensuring that every child has a dedicated key person to support their development.
While your child's learning and development are guided by their key worker, all staff share responsibility for each child’s care within the setting and provide learning experiences spontaneously through play.
