Tapestry

At Fylingdales Preschool we are excited to promote our online 'Learning Journals' for each individual child through a piece of educational software called ‘Tapestry’. By logging on with a secure username and password parents and carers are able to view some of their child’s observations, photographs and even video from there time in the setting. Parents and carers receive an email telling you when a new observation or piece of work is available for you to view. This will enable parents to follow their child’s progress closely and can reflect upon achievements with their child. Parents can add photos and comments so that, we as staff find out about which activities their child really enjoys and about the learning they get up to at home. Staff will reference your child’s learning to the EYFS profile when attaching an observation. Please note this is just one of the many forms of assessment we use, so whatever is on Tapestry is not the only information we use to assess a child’s development. All of this information is stored on a highly secure server which is monitored closely.
