All of our children are planned for as individuals and their interests form the basis of our planning. Detailed class observations are taken by the child’s key person, or other team member and these are then fed back into the assessment record. Here we are able to monitor your child’s progress and identify any gaps in their learning. Records of achievement are kept for each child to monitor their development.
These consist of actual photographic evidence of what the children have achieved during their time at nursery and are linked to the Early Years Foundation Stage. These are shared on a regular basis with the parents where they are also asked to evidence works/ observations completed at home.
Baby Days
At Artemis, we use a software application called Baby’s Days to create a learning journal by adding observations and next steps for your child. Baby’s Days has been developed to assist childcare settings with the forms, and paperwork involved around all areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), which includes the structure of learning and care.
Through using this system, we can digitally record bottle feeds, nappies, sleep times and you are notified immediately on the app. We can add observations, next steps, upload photographs, leave notes across the system and much more. Parents can input their findings in the same way, so that we can work together to track the child’s progress.
