All of these exclusion periods are the suggested minimum. If children remain unwell and unable to cope with a busy day at DUCKS, it may be necessary for them to have a longer period of time off school. This can be discussed with the key person or class teacher. Jewellery Jewellery may not be worn except for watches, studs for pierced ears or jewellery relating to specific religious beliefs. Earrings must be removed at home or by the child. Key Person The role of the key person is established in the EYFS section of DUCKS, that is Kindergarten, Nursery and Reception, and continues throughout your child’s time with us. The key person is there to provide an ongoing attachment relationship with your child. The nature of this relationship will naturally change and develop during their time at DUCKS. The aim of the key person relationship is for each child to feel special, individually cherished and thought about by someone in particular while they are away from home. In the EYFS your child’s key person is your initial point of contact for sharing information.They are someone with whom your child builds a relationship from the settling in period onwards. Throughout their time at DUCKS, children will work closely with all the adults in the class and through this develop their relationships beyond that they have established with their key person.
