Key Person Approach

What is a key person?

Every child at Kid Ease has a named Key Person from their first settling session. Their Key Person is a practitioner who gets to know them as an individual and builds a close relationship with their family.

From the first settling sessions, our Key Persons work closely with parents to understand children’s routines, interests, personality and preferences. They become a familiar and trusted adult who supports children as they settle into nursery life, build friendships, grow in confidence and explore from a safe base.

Your child’s Key Person will:

  • Support them through settling in and transitions
  • Get to know their interests, strengths and learning preferences
  • Plan experiences based on their development and curiosity
  • Monitor progress and celebrate achievements
  • Maintain their Learning Journey
  • Share regular updates with parents
  • Work with outside professionals where required

Building secure relationships with their key person helps our children to be happy and settled in our care, gaining confidence to try new things, and making the most of the learning experiences we offer.

What our families have to say

“Both of my daughters have had such a wonderful time at the nursery, and I have always felt that they were genuinely cared for, supported and valued as individuals. A special mention has to go to their key worker, Abbie, who has been absolutely amazing. She has shown my girls so much kindness, patience and care, and it has been lovely to see the bond they have built with her. Knowing that your children are happy, settled and in such caring hands means everything as a parent.”
