Introducing Your Child's Online Learning Journal


We're pleased to announce that we have teamed up with Tapestry Online Learning Journal to provide online access to your children's developmental records.

Tapestry is available either via your web browser or as a free App on both Android and Apple devices and will give parents the ability to see what their child has been doing while at pre-school. Parents will be provided with their own login details and will be able to not only view 'observations' but to comment on them and even create their own . This means that our key-person staff will be able to communicate much more efficiently and effectively with our parents to ensure that the education and care their child receives is the best possible.

Parents will be asked to provide pre-school with an email address in order for access to be set up and once received we will add parents to the system. A simple 'activation' email is then sent to parents and away you go!

A link to the Tapestry website is available at the top right hand side of our home page. Any parents wanting more information should speak to Jayne or email pre-school on springfieldpreschool@hotmail.co.uk 

We hope you will enjoy this new experience and we look forward to being able to share all those moments that make our job so special and rewarding.
