We value snack as an important time for social interaction and so children sit in groups with an adult. We offer milk or water to drink and usually a choice of one carbohydrate and two fruit or vegetable. Key Person
It is a specific legal requirement to run a key person system which means that each child has a designated staff member who will help the child to become familiar with the provision and to feel safe and confident within it. They will develop a genuine bond with both child and their family and offer a settled and close relationship. The key person keeps the child’s development record up to date and will discuss and exchange important information with parents/carers to ensure that the child is being cared for appropriately for each family.
