They will work closely with the family to support your child and ensure their individual needs and interests are catered for within the setting. You will also have the opportunity to share their tin with you child and you at home for a couple of nights to learn some of your key person's favourite things. 

The key person will be responsible for their care and well-being as well as their learning journey and profile throughout their time in the setting.
