What is a ‘Key Person’?
Your child will be assigned a 'Key Person'. Their role is to ensure that your child’s care is tailored to meet their individual needs, to help your child become familiar with the setting, offer a settled relationship for your child and to build a relationship with you, the parents or carers. Your Key Person will also monitor and track your child’s progress against the Early Years Foundation Stage, using an online system called ‘Earwig’.
You will have access to your child’s Earwig timeline and receive email updates when evidence has been added or been tracked. This will be collected in photographs, quotes and samples of work etc. Your child’s timeline will be a reflection of their time with us at Preschool and the progress they have made. This timeline will follow your child through their Black Firs journey.
