Moss Side Playgroup uses an online observation and assessment program to record and monitor children’s progress. Practitioners record children’s starting points, complete daily observations and summarise children’s progress at the end of each half term, using the tapestry app. Parents/carers receive their child’s observations on a half termly basis and they can also add information and photographs from home to share their child’s learning and development with their key person.
Moss Side Playgroup has also introduced In the Moment Planning and each week practitioners focus on a small group of children to develop their learning based on their interests. Parents also contribute to this each time it is their child’s focus week.
During the registration process parents will be asked to provide their full name and email address and sign a form to enable the nursery to take photographs for the purpose of recording their child’s progress. This information is private and only parents/carers can see their child’s account.
When the account is set up on the tapestry website a link is sent to the email address provided so that the parent/carer can then set up their own personal password.
Once the password is set, the account is active and practitioners and parents/carers can begin to build up a child’s learning journey.
