Babies learn to roll over, sit up, crawl, walk, talk, develop language skills, communicate and develop relationships with others and an awareness of the world around them. Parents are their child’s first and foremost educator and research shows that being involved in your child’s learning has a significant impact on their educational achievement with benefits that follow them into adult life. Recent research into babies’ brain development has helped us to understand the importance of a child’s first few years and the impact early experiences can have on their development progress.  \nWe understand that parents of babies and young toddlers have many demands on their time. The aim of this factsheet is to offer you a range of ways in which you can support your child using theresources you have in the home and by using your usual daily routine that will naturally maximise learning possibilities.  \nWorking with your child’s key person  \nWhen your baby/toddler enters an early years setting they will be allocated a key adult-this person is referred to as the key person. Babies and toddlers need to build strong relationships with their carers as this allows them to feel secure, explore their environment and take risks with confidence. They can do this knowing that a trusted adult is there to support their learning, to present new challenges in a safe environment and offer praise and encouragement, all of which help to build their confidence and self-esteem.  \nSharing your knowledge and experience of your child with their key person in the setting will enable them to fully understand your child, so they can build on and improve their learning experiences and build strong bonds between your family and the setting.  \nWho is a key person?  \n• A member of staff with responsibility for settling your child into the setting  \n• A key person will match your child’s attendance pattern to provide continuity of care and development, will develop their learning plan and record their progress  \n• They will work with parents to learn about a child’s home routines  \n• They will wish to hear about a child’s routine, their likes and dislikes, achievements, see photographs and hear news from home so that this can be put into their personal learning journey, and they can plan further learning opportunities within the nursery and suggest ideas for at home  \n• It is a statutory requirement of the EYFS Framework that your child is allocated a key person.  \n• Have quiet times at home by turning off the TV and minimising distractions and noise where possible so that your child can concentrate on the task at hand and develop their concentration and listening skills  \n• Have toys and books accessible to your toddler  \n• When out in your community, point out the things that you can see and talk to your child about them, i.e. local shops, birds or transport. This will widen your child’s vocabulary as well as giving them a sense of where they live  \n• When friends and family visit, don’t be tempted to put the children in front of the television or in another area to play. Include them in the chats or encourage them to play nearby and involve the visitors in their play. This will enable you to provide a good role model for developing social skills, e.g. interaction with adults and/or different ages of children. It will also build your child’s vocabulary with a range of new words that they can experiment with later  \n• Both the indoor and outdoor environments are important for your child’s development so try to ensure you and your child spend time outdoors every day.  \nSupporting your child’s personal, social and emotional development  \nTaking your child out into your community and visiting friends","cbCaivLqS1y3NO1p","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivLqS1y3NO1p","pdf",781786,11,"English","# Parent Guidance\n## Working with your child’s key person\n## Supporting your child’s personal, social and emotional development\n## Language and communication","[{\"question\":\"What is a “key person” and why does it matter for babies and toddlers?\",\"answer\":\"A key person is a designated staff member responsible for settling your child and building a secure relationship.
