Key person

All nursery colleagues are involved in the care of your child, however, each child is allocated a key person and key buddy, who have special responsibility for your child and family.   

The role of the key person is to:    

• Provide continuity by being part of the induction process;   

• Build a partnership with your family and ensure a smooth transition between home and nursery;   

• Maintain up to date information concerning your child and their needs;   

• Encourage your involvement in the process of building the observations required to maintain a complete picture of your child progress and interests;  

• Record your child’s learning and development via Tapestry.;

• Support transitions during your child’s time at nursery ;  

• Share your child’s progress and development during the nursery’s ‘Next Steps’ parent’s evenings.
