The key person is central to a child's overall development and wellbeing as they journey through the early years. This course is recommended for anyone taking on this essential role; by raising awareness of the significance and value it holds. The key aspects covered include the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) that must be met and how we develop a relationship-based approach to ensure that every child feels loved; safe; nurtured and listened to.
The Early Years Alliance is the largest and most representative early years membership organisation in England. We support early years providers to deliver quality, affordable and sustainable care and learning to families, and work to ensure that all children, regardless of background, are given the best possible start in life. The Alliance’s vision is a society where every child enjoys the same opportunity to learn through play. We believe families should be at the centre of policy-making and parents empowered to become more involved with their child’s learning and development.
