All about me
This ‘All About Me’ document enables early years practitioners (ideally a child’s key person) to gather essential details of the child’s individuality, helping them to understand and meet the child’s specific needs.
When a key person has knowledge about a child’s likes, dislikes, family background, and other personal details, they can build secure, reliable and trusting relationships, with the child and their family.
Knowing details about a child’s routines, comfort objects, or calming techniques can help practitioners to provide emotional support during challenging times.
‘All About Me’ information provides a basis for communication between practitioners and parents. It can help guide discussions about the child’s progress, challenges, and experiences in the new setting, ensuring continuity of care, support, and understanding making a child’s transition smoother and more successful for all involved.
This ‘All About Me’ has been devised by Coventry Early Years Service. Please feel free to download and use as required.
