Learning Journey

In line with the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum, we are continually observing our children and building a record their experiences during their time with us.

We do this through an online portal called Tapestry, this system allows us to work with parents and carers to share information and record the children’s play and learning in and outside of preschool.


Tapestry provides each individual child with their own Learning Journal held online. Parents and carers are given their own log-in using their email and password. Our staff then upload observations, photos or videos; recording children’s achievements and assessing their learning in reference to the EYFS curriculum.

Parents are informed via email when an observation has been added so they can have a look and add any comments of their own.


Preschool has access to all of the children’s Learning Journals.  The only other people that can see your child’s account will be yourselves. 

In addition we invite parents for a chat every term to celebrate achievements and plan ‘next steps’ to promote further learning.

Partnership

Working in partnership with parents and wider-families is key to our good relationships.   We plan activities which are centred around the children’s interests and also specific family and local celebrations.
Parents are welcome to join us for activities and story time.

Active Learning

Outdoor Play

Our location next to the playing field enables the children to explore the play equipment, assess their own risks, work together and enjoy games.  These opportunities allow them to focus on their wider environment and to develop their gross motor skills.

Exploration

Additionally, we have Kennall Vale Nature Reserve close by which enables further exploratory expeditions.  Which, in turn, broadens the children's understanding of the world around them and the natural environment as a whole.
