Your child's record of achievement helps us to celebrate together his/her achievements and to
work to provide what your child needs for his/her well-being and to make continued progress.
Your child's key person will work with you to keep this record. To do this you and the key
person will collect information about your child's needs, activities, interests and achievements.
This information will enable the key person to identify your child's stage of progress.

Key Person
Our setting uses the key person approach. This means that each member of staff has a group of
children for whom s/he is particularly responsible. Your child's key person will be the person
who works with you to make sure that what we provide is right for your child's particular needs
and interests. When your child first starts at the setting, we will inform you of who your child's
key person is and they will help your child to settle. They will remain your key person
throughout your child's time at the setting and will help your child to benefit from the setting's
activities. Should your child's key person be absent, or leave the setting, another key person will
be assigned and you will be notified as to who they are.

Special Educational Needs
Each child will be able to progress at his/her own rate in all areas of development. We have a
member of staff who is our nominated SENCO (Special Educational Needs Coordinator). A
detailed policy can be viewed on our website or by request and discussion with your child's key
person and Pre-School Manager is welcomed. Our staff also recognise the need to help develop
the education of children who are gifted and talented.
