Key Person Profile - (Fledglings Room Lead)

ImageHi, I'm Miss Louis, Room Leader of Fledglings. I have worked in the Early Years sector since 2016, beginning my journey as a nursery apprentice with 1–2-year-olds. Since then, I have gained experience working with children up to the age of 5 years old.  I currently hold a Level 3 qualification, a Foundation Degree and have recently achieved a BA (Hons) degree in Early Years Teaching and Learning. In my spare time, I enjoy spending quality time with family and friends, getting creative with arts and crafts, and attending Pilates classes. I’m really looking forward to welcoming your child into the setting and supporting their learning and development during these important early years!

 

Key Person Profile - Mrs Leppard (Hatchlings Room Lead)

Mrs LeppardHi, I'm Mrs Leppard, room leader of Hatchlings. I have been working in childcare since I was 18 years old. I’ve always loved working with children and completed my level two in early years education by 2004. I took time out to have my own family, but as soon as I was able I went straight back into the profession. In the last 6 years I have completed a Level 3 in becoming an Early years educator and I am close to finishing my Level 4 which will make me an advanced practitioner. In my spare time I like to spend time with my family and when I get some time to myself you can find me in the crafting corner of my house.  Over the next 5 years I would like to have a break from studying but then when I am able to, I would like to achieve a degree in early years.

Before your child starts at our Nursery we will come and visit you at home. This helps us get to know your child in the comfort of their own home and we will ask you to complete an "All About Me" form to support this.

Once your child starts with us they will be allocated a member of staff who will be their ‘Key Person’. All our Nursery staff will get to know your child well but the Key Person’s role is to help your child settle and be someone they can relate to and rely on when they are with us. The Key Person will identify how your child learns through their play and be responsible for ensuring that the care your little one receives meets their individual needs. The Key Person will be your first point of contact for any questions you might have.

We will inform you of your child’s Key Person once they have been at Nursery for a few weeks. This gives us the opportunity to get to know your child and identify who the most appropriate member of staff is for your child. This is based on the relationship that your child has with the different team members and any additional needs or interests.

At Salfords' Nursery we use an online system called Tapestry to make regular observations of your child - we write down what they say and do and take lots of photos to keep you updated with how they are getting on.

We have an open-door policy, so please come in and speak to us if you have questions or need some more information.
