Tapestry
- This is a way of collecting observations and information about each child.
It helps us to understand what your child can do and show us what they are interested in. It helps us support the care, learning and development of your child and you can to see it at any time. - We hope you will add to these notes. Please share with us anything your child does at home that you would like us to know about.
- We take photographs as part of our observations and it may be possible that your child is included in a photograph of an observation of another child.
- is a secure online learning journal that can only be accessed by logging into our web address. We will give parents an individual account and password. This login will give you permission to see only your own child's journal.
- Once you’ve logged in you will be able to see all entries for your child and you can comment on new entries and even add your own
- We are looking forward to sharing your child’s time at nursery with you in this way and to being able to involve more parents. Through Tapestry parents and carers who are not able to visit the nursery can still be involved in the child’s learning
