Guest Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I have the persons initials in the register next to the child's name and then keep a sheet with this information in my filling cabinet (somewhere) and this info is up in the rooms as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMaz Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Just been looking at recent OFSTED reports and one setting was marked down for not having keyperson info on the register? Blimey - now that is nit-picking! As it happens there is a box next to each child's name in our register to show who their key person is but that's only because I do a master table and then use it for several different purposes. Whatever next? Will I be marked down because my padlock on my gate is put on upside down? Or my sign telling staff which sink to use for washing up paint pots is wonky? I'm not paid enough to deal with all this. Maz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aliamch Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Lord! another thing for me to say to my boss 'by the way I've heard we should......', I swear sometimes I can see shaking her head and sighing deeply before I've even got within a few feet of her.

sunnyday Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I'm sure they're making this up as they go along! sunnyday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I don't have the info on the register, other than a register for the adults who are in on that day, same as children. There's a big notice on the wall 'Do you know who your Keyperson is?' with all the names on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiny Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Our key groups are colours, we all wear our colour polo shirts (I am green). On our register children's names are printed in their key group colours. And at the bottom of the register is a key to the group colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karrie Easy solution Karrie, get your boss to subscribe to FSF then she can get the info herself first hand. Peggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliamch Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) She knows exactly where all the info I give her comes from, in fact she often asks me to come on here to look things up, not that I need an excuse to do that!

Guest Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Everyone's so friendly on here, there wouldn't be a need for ignore buttons. I do know that some forums have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 (edited) We have a photographic display with which children are in who's group up on the wall in the cloak room. We also have a written list on the wall in the main play room. As we are a day nursery and work shifts and have part time staff etc. Some days we have children in our group who aren't actually in our key group (make sense?) so to show which staff are responsible for which children on a daily basis, we have a board at our room entrance with the staff photo's on and the children's name's underneath. The children love this and on coming into nursery will often say "Oh (their key person's name) isn't here today, Mummy, am I with (staff's name) instead?" They like to know who they are going to do their group session with! In addition, we do highlight the children's names in the register in group colours and put a key for this at the top of the register but this gets so confusing if a member of staff phones in sick or when the children do different sessions.

chicken Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Yes, we also have key person names on the register next to the relevant child, all in key group colours, register looks like a rainbow We also have a 'buddy' system as some children are in when keyperson is not, then children, parents and staff then know who they are looking after on certain days. There is also a sign up on notice board with key person groups, and a sign 'who is not here today' 'your childrens keyperson today is' in case someone is sick or on a course. Oh, we also have time in/time out on register, not just ticked or yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
