A key worker is a named practitioner who has responsibilities for a small group of children and they are there to help the child feel safe and secure. The role is important for both child and parent and is an approach set out in the EYFS.
The key person approach makes sure relationships between staff and children are ‘attentive, responsive, stimulating and affectionate.’ A key-person ensures that within the day-to-day demands of the setting, each child feels welcomed, cherished and cared for, to create a smooth transition from home to pre-school.
Children feel settled and happy and are more confident to explore and thus become more capable learners.
