GET INVOLVED AND STAY INVOLVED!

Parental involvement is a huge factor in your child’s development and success. We encourage your involvement by giving you access into your child's learning journal.

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) sets standards for the learning, development and care of children from birth to 5 years old. All schools and Ofsted-registered early years providers must follow the EYFS, including childminders, preschools, nurseries and school reception classes.

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework supports an integrated approach to early learning and care. It gives all professionals a set of common principles and commitments to deliver quality early education and childcare experiences to all children.

As well as being the core document for all professionals working in the foundation years, the EYFS framework gives mums and dads confidence that regardless of where they choose for their child’s early education, they can be assured that the same statutory commitments and principles will underpin their child’s learning and development experience.

Most of you will now be familiar with our children’s online learning journal, Tapestry. Tapestry enables you to follow your child’s individual progress closely and reflect upon achievements with your child. You can add comments so that we, as a nursery, find out about which activities your child really enjoys and the learning they get up to at home.

The Tapestry platform then works seamlessly to enable these memories to be kept as a permanent record of each child’s unique journey. All information held in the platform is stored securely. At the end of your child’s time at nursery the learning journey will be available in PDF and upon your request it will be sent to you by email.
