Key Worker
At Blossoming Buddies your child will have a key worker. The Early Years Foundation Stage framework (2021) sates that each child must be assigned a key person. The Key person will help to ensure that every child’s learning and care is tailored to meet his/her needs. To do so the key worker will seek to engage and support parents/carers in guiding their child’s development and if appropriate help families to engage with more specialist support.
The Key person is responsible for:
- The routine daily hands on care
- Encouraging a wide range of play activities tailored to the child individual needs
- Sharing their keys children/s progress and assessment with parents and other professionals as required.
- Observational records of their key children, using these to inform next steps and individualised planning.
- The welfare of the children in their care, monitoring patterns of absence, injury and development and if necessary, referring them on.
- Helping the child become familiar with the setting and to feel confident and safe within it
- Developing a bond with the child and offering a settled close relationship
- The Key worker is available and accessible as a point of contact for parents.
- Working in partnership with the parents/carers to help support the child’s development, learning and emotions, share what the child enjoys and what their strengths and addressing the child’s difficulties if present.
