ok so the the main resons would be to meet the individual childs needs. The EYFS and foundation phase (i am in wales) are aimed at the individual childrens abilities in developmental rate rather than being age related learning. One of the core aims is to centered on the individual childs needs.
So with this in mind Changing 4 times a day might not suit the child, what if they poo just after being changed? would they have to remain in the soiled nappy until the next rota change? If so this is not meeting the childs needs.
Also the main feature of a key person for certain children is to establish bonds, create a sense of belonging for the child and facilitate positive attachments. If the rota basis was still in place the emotional welfare of the child may suffer (having another member of staff change them)
Children who feel secure and happy with a key person are more likely to have a positive sense of self, therefore this would enable them to develop in a secure environment with their key person. Their individual needs would be met so they are more likely to learn and develop. A child who is sat in a dirty/wet nappy is not going to want to play, therefore affecting their development.
Hope this makes sense and puts you on track.
