Key Person Approach
Each child is assigned a key person when they start at Busy Beacons Nursery.
This is a statutory requirement of the EYFS and is a way to ensure that all children and families have one person within the setting with whom they have a special, nurturing relationship.
The approach is based on attachment theory and involves the key person responding sensitively to children’s feelings, behaviours and meeting emotional needs by giving reassurance when needed. The key person will observe your child as they play, plan for his/her learning and development and make assessments on progress.
As part of their role, they are required to share information with you about your child and ensure that your child’s individual needs are being met.
The key person supports physical needs too, helping with nappy changing, toileting and dressing. They will work with you to help you support your child’s physical needs at home. The key person approach is a reciprocal relationship between a member of staff, individual child, and their family.
