Monitoring your child's progress

Key-working System
Each child has one special member of staff to relate to, which eases the settling in process. This key-working system gives each member of staff particular responsibility to tailor the group’s curriculum to the unique needs of each child, enabling them to reach his/her full potential. The key-worker maintains links with the child’s family and records the ongoing assessments and development of the children in her key-worker group.

The key-worker observes and works with their children, updating their records with observations as appropriate. This information is confidential and is only available to that child’s parents. Parent consultation evenings are organised twice a year to enable a detailed and confidential discussion to take place between the parent and key-worker about their child’s progress.

We are in receipt of the Nursery Education Grant for children aged 3+, therefore we use the Curriculum Guidance for the Foundation Stage. For our younger children we use the Birth to Three Matters framework to help us provide appropriate learning experiences.
