A simple, reflective resource designed to help key persons build stronger, more meaningful relationships with the children in their care.
This printable sheet encourages practitioners to look beyond observations and next steps, taking time to really consider each child as an individual — what makes them smile, what helps them feel safe, how they communicate, what they may find difficult and what matters to their family.
Perfect for new starters, room transitions, key person changes or simply refreshing your understanding of the children already in your key group.
The resource includes prompts around:
Interests and current fascinations
Communication
Emotional security and settling
Individual challenges
Comfort and regulation
Family knowledge and priorities
Ongoing reflection
Strengthening the key person relationship
A useful tool for supporting reflective practice, attachment and genuine child-centred care.
Format: A4 printable PDF
Suitable for: Early years practitioners, key persons, room leaders and managers
