Tapestry

An effective partnership between home and school is an essential aspect of the Early Years Foundation Stage, and we want to enable parents to be as involved as possible in their child’s education. At The Willows, staff in nursery and reception use Tapestry to record significant learning moments and achievements. 

Tapestry is an easy to use and secure online learning journal that helps early years staff and families share and celebrate their children’s learning and development. Tapestry builds a record of a child’s experiences through their early years, using an online electronic journal designed and developed specifically for the EYFS. Using photos, videos and diary entries, early year’s staff, along with the child’s parents/carers create a record of their child’s learning ‘journey’ together. The Tapestry platform enables the information gathered to be kept as an electronic ongoing record. All information held in the platform is stored securely and can be downloaded and shared as required.

Parents are able to see their child’s progress and what they have been learning, through the Tapestry platform, as staff share observations that have been completed. Parents can also upload their own thoughts and comments to add to these.Further information about Tapestry can be found at: https://www.tapestry.info
