Your child will be assigned a key worker when they start at our preschool. They will be responsible for your child whist they are in our care. You will be introduced to your child’s key worker before your child starts with us. The key worker will be with your child for the majority of their sessions and are there to help your child settle, feel safe and secure. We feel this role is vital for both child and parent. Two way communication is key to this relationship so we ask that you always keep them updated and aware of any circumstances that may impact your child’s emotional wellbeing and development. We form strong bonds with the children at our preschool, therefore ensuring your child’s physical and emotional needs are met. Our key workers also observe, monitor and record your child’s progress.
Records and Assessment
In line with EYFS guidelines, your child will be observed and assessed throughout their time at preschool. Your child’s Key Worker, will observe and complete a “Learning Journey” whilst they are with us. This will detail information, observations and achievements of your child. The file will contain photos of them doing activities and some of the things they have made or drawn. The Learning Journey files are kept on the premises, in a lockable cabinet. Your child’s file is always available for you to look through and also add to with things from home such as pictures and photos of home activities. We invite parents in to view our learning journeys and have informal chats with key workers on a regular basis.
Developmental information is passed on to your child’s primary school when your child leaves Preschool.
