Help SOS Unit 12 - Case study. Help Please!!

It seems such easy questions but my brain is on overdrive and i've come to a stand still. If anybody could please help on this question it would be much appreciated.

Castle day nursery had always changed babies nappies on a rota system. Babies would have their nappies changed four times a day at a set time by whoever's name was on the rota list. Since the introduction of the EYFS, the nursery has changed its procedures. Babies nappies are changed only when they are needed and it is now the responsibility of the babies key person to carry this out. Staff, have found that it no longer feels like a chore and that they enjoy the time spent with 'their' babies. The staff have also noticed that babies seem much happier and that they communicate more.

1. Why did the nursery have to change its practice?
2. What are the benefits for individual babies of this more personalised approach?

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.
