How many keyworker children ?

[Ruthierhyme]

How do you all manange the number of children each Keyworker has ?

Does experience or working hours play a part in assigning numbers ?

experience, hours at work, children's sessions, staff rota, all have some bearing, but all staff have some,

we look at children's sessions and staff rota and allocate the staff who sees child most ...until we have allocated all children. most staff have equal numbers, unless it involves a child with special needs which takes more time , or courses or a needy parent or.....

It just seems to happen, some staff volunteer for some children, and in our case this is usually for the children/ parents who need more input ..they all like a challenge!!

we do very similar, dependant on how much they see the child, but everyone writes post its on everyone any way.

people who do more sessions have more children, next year deputy has 9, people doing all week have 8, 4 days have 7 and 3 and 2 days have 5 each
we have a lot of children!!!!!

some do request certain children, and some request not t have certain ones due to a clash but anything can be sorted

we have between 8 to 10 children each and we tend to have siblings of older children who we have already been keyworker for, as we have already formed a good relationship with parents, we do not have keyworker children who are related to us.
