There are many advantages to having a key person in an early years setting. Young children are entering the system and are being seperated sometimes for the first time and this can be upsetting for them. By having someone constsnt in their daily routine that they can associate with and bond with helps them settle in quicker. The key person gets to know the child well and knows what can help settle them. They can also swap information and keep in contact with parents/carers to keep them informed about how the child is doing. They can find out about their likes and dislikes from the parents. The child also knows their is someone they can turn to when they are upset or worried.
