Key Person Approach

We understand that children need adults to depend upon for reassurance and comfort and this in turn allows them to become independent themselves. At Enfys Hapus Nursery we are very proud of our key person approach. We assign each child with a key person so that they always have a trusted, familiar person available to them. It is a special role that involves responsibility for working with a small group of children giving them reassurance to feel safe and cared for. The key person also builds a close bond with parents/carers as we recognise that parents are their children’s most important educators.

Our key persons help our babies and children become familiar with their settings and help them to feel safe and confident within them. They build a genuine bond with their key children and offer a settled, close relationship. We understand that when children feel happy, safe and secure in this way they are confident to explore and try out new things.

Our key persons seek to build positive relationships with parents/carers and regularly talk to parents in order to ensure each child is being careered for in a home from home environment so that we can match the routines at home with your Childs day at nursery. They also keep records of each of their key child’s development and progress and share this with the child and parents as part of each child’s individual learning and developmental progression.

Enfys Hapus Nursery values of trust, honesty and openness are important to the key person role and for our parents as they know they are values they can trust.
