We all have a duty to care for the children in our setting. The quality of care will depend on how carefully we carry out our responsibility through working with parents, colleagues, other professionals and most importantly our knowledge of individual children. All this knowledge is gathered through informal and formal forms of communication. Areas of care may include sleep requirements, nappy changes, behaviour support, toileting, intimate care routines, additional medical needs, feeding, communication, cultural needs, likes and dislikes and the celebration of special occasions.
