Where possible, we aim to keep children within the same bubble as their key person to continue to provide a safe and secure base, emotional support and engage in high-quality interactions with children, while continuing to build on professional relationships between the home and setting.

While we aim to keep key persons with their children, there may be circumstances when this may not always be possible. For example, if a child’s key person is currently on furlough - in this case, we will place children within the same bubble as their key person buddy or a familiar adult from the same group.
