Key Worker System

When your child starts at Poppets, they are allocated a Key Worker. This is a familiar member of staff who helps your child settle, feel secure and build trusting relationships. The Key Worker:

  • Supports your child emotionally and socially
  • Monitors progress and development
  • Provides reassurance and continuity
  • Keeps parents informed of progress regularly

Parents are involved at all stages of assessment, planning and review, ensuring strong partnership working.
