Whatever the guidance may say, there is no statutory requirement for an
address. Simply s7(3) "A data controller is not obliged to comply with a
request under this section unless he is supplied with such information
as he may reasonably require in order to satisfy himself as to the
identity of the person making the request and to locate the information
which that person seeks."
If in fact, as you state, you are satisfied as to identity, you have no
reasonable grounds to refuse in my view.
In most cases of course some address verification might be expected. Or
in your case possibly some proof of the right to legally stand in loco
parentis

This is a request for Child Care Files and I believe that the person is
well known to the department. Consequently, they would be able to
visually identify them.

I'm a little at a loss to understand how you can properly identify them
without an address ...
I suppose if they brought a passport ..
