We are pleased to offer Tapestry Online Learning Journals at Greenway Nursery. Tapestry is a fantastic application for keeping parents updated on what their child is doing during the day whilst also providing a record of the child’s learning and development.
This system is hosted in the UK on secure servers. These servers conform to very high environmental standards and are proactively managed 24 hours a day. Each Tapestry account has its own database and the code itself is developed using hack-resistant techniques. We will now, with the use of iPads/tablets, be able to instantly produce the information we require to support each child. Each observation we make will be done directly onto the mobile app and linked into your child’s personal profile. These observations can include notes, photographs and EYFS assessments, characteristics of learning and videos. They can be enhanced by comments from other staff and parents, and each page appears in a pleasing and coherent way. You will be able to view the complete set of observations as a learning journey, flipping through your single child's observation pages, in time-order, or filtering in flexible ways to access your favourite records. Bookmark your favourites for quick access.
Parents will be provided with their own secure log in and will receive email notifications each time a new photo, observation or video of their child is uploaded. We encourage parents to share and discuss these observations with their child – a brilliant opportunity to nurture home to nursery links. Similarly, we encourage parents to upload their own observations of what their children have been up to at home. This is a wonderful way to get the children talking in sessions. Please see the guide below for help uploading your own observations.
There is the facility to add a comment in reply or give it a “Like” and if you haven't got a computer you can download the Tapestry app which makes receiving and reading your child’s observations even easier.
