Key Worker Information​

​

Here at Tots and Time Out nursery every child has a Key worker regardless of how often they attend nursery. They take a special interest in your child’s development and well-being, planning activities for their specific learning needs and requirements.

​

The Key worker is responsible for reporting on your child’s development and providing support and advice to both you and your child. 

 

The Key worker approach is an effective way of enabling children to develop a strong relationship with a significant adult in the nursery.  It also enables each child to feel secure and cared for helping them to become familiar with the nursery environment and develop confidence and a feeling of security within it.

 

Therefore, when your child starts with us a Key worker will be responsible for their care. The Key worker will ensure that the needs of each child in their care are met and will build up a relationship of trust through a process of responding sensitively to their feelings and behaviour.  

 

We also recognise that the Key person will not be in the nursery from open to close each and every day of the year and therefore to ensure continuity of care and remove any distress to the child, the key person will gradually encourage and help your child to develop relationships with other members of staff as well as children.
