The person your child will have most regular contact with at nursery will be their Key Person. Your child’s Key Person is chosen in advance by the manager, and they will introduce themselves to you before your first settling in session.

​

Young children take their cues for safety and security from you as their primary caregiver(s). It is vital that you and the key person develop your own strong and trusting relationship in order that your child can see that you are happy and comfortable with the situation.

​​

Your child’s Key Person will also be primarily responsible for your child’s learning journey updates while in our care, as well as watching over and monitoring any developmental and general progression or changes. In the absence of your child’s Key Person, there will be a designated ‘buddy Key Person’ who take on the necessary responsibilities.

​

Our teams are well versed in nursery life and are mindful during this process how important being a Key Person is. They are regularly refreshed on how children’s brains develop, importance of nurturing attachment and emotional wellbeing. Alongside this, they also have training and experience in planning, creating engaging environments for the children, resources and activities to utilise and the importance of physical development.

​

All Staff are trained first aiders. All staff attend regularly supervision 1-2-1 meetings with their manager to ensure they feel well supported and have the opportunity to talk about their professional development.
