School House Nursery: Keypersons
Children are grouped according to age for part of the day. The Tadpoles are our 2-3 year olds and the Frogs are our 3-4 year olds. Each group has a full-time qualified leader and each child has a keyperson. We believe that the keyperson plays a crucial role during your child’s time at nursery.
Prior to a child beginning at the nursery parents are encouraged to attend a meeting with their child’s keyperson to discuss any concerns and share information they feel is relevant. This is also an opportunity for your child to meet his or her keyperson.
Parents are encouraged to liaise with their child’s keyperson on all matters concerning their child’s well being. Parents are able to book appointments to discuss their child with their keyperson by calling the nursery and arranging a mutually convenient time.
Simple records of the children’s development are kept. These are completed by the keypersons to track individual children’s progress and give an overview of the child’s development.
The Nursery holds an annual Open Evening, at which parents are invited to discuss their child’s progress with their keyperson.
The keypersons take it in turns to lead the day’s activities.
