Online Learning

The children’s learning is recorded on Tapestry. This is an on-line journal in which your child’s development in all areas of learning and development is monitored and assessed using a variety of methods. These include photographs, observations talking with children and formal assessment during planned and spontaneous activities.

It can be accessed with a computer, laptop and Apple or Android device such as a tablet or smart phone. Tapestry is a great way for you to see what your child enjoys whilst in our care.We can instantly upload photos, videos and observations of your children. You then receive an email alert telling you that

something new has been added to your child’s Learning Journal and you can log on and view what your child has been up to. You can add your comments to entries and upload your own photos and observations, this enables us to develop their interests from home within the setting.

The safeguarding of our children is very important to us. Everything that is added to Tapestry can only be viewed by yourself and staff that use this system. You have access to your child’s book via a secured login which cannot be seen by other parents.
