Nursery Need-to-knows: key person

Ever wondered who your child bonds with most at nursery — and why it matters so much? In this warm and insightful episode, Alice is back with Nicola, Nursery Manager at Happy Days Verwood, to explore the key person approach and how it supports children through every stage of their nursery journey.

We’ll chat about:

  • What exactly a key person is — and why every child is assigned one
  • Building strong, trusting relationships that help children feel secure, settled, and seen
  • How your key person becomes your go-to for updates, support, and partnership in your child’s learning
  • What happens if your key person is on holiday or off sick

Whether you’re new to nursery life or just curious about how we do things at Happy Days, this episode will leave you feeling reassured, informed, and inspired.

Pop in those earphones and discover why a key person might just be your child’s first best friend at nursery.
