Staff observe children’s learning and development throughout the term, however once a term your child should be a ‘focus child’. When your child is a focus child the following takes place: 

• Adults observe your child extra closely to monitor their interests, their learning, development and progress.
• All of the staff discuss your child and think about targets that will further support their learning.
• Your child’s keyworker will ask to meet with you to talk about your child’s progress.

At Lea Nursery, we use Tapestry, an online learning journal that enables parents and carers to see observations, photographs, and updates about their child's learning and development. We also use the Birth to 5 Matters framework to identify and record the developmental range your child is currently working within.
