What is it?
Created by educators, Tapestry is an easy-to-use, secure online learning journal helping staff and families celebrate and support their children’s learning from Early Years to Y6.
Each subscription gives access to a wide variety of features designed to reduce workload and assist the development of each setting and school’s provision.
Engagement with parents and carers
Through observations, educators and families can collaborate in equal partnership to build a child’s learning journal, providing staff with a place to record meaningful feedback to families and children.
Communicate efficiently with parents and carers, sharing news and updates including documents, pictures and videos via memos.
Create, store and send activities for groups of children or an individual child, responding to their unique learning needs.
Write central, downloadable reports with a consistent format throughout your setting.
Monitoring each child’s learning and development
Tapestry supports the move from data-centred assessment to a child-centred approach. Build a child’s learning story with observations organised using the EYFS 2021 flags, the National Curriculum objectives, or Montessori assessments, among many others.
Monitor individual children’s development in the early years through the Areas of Concern screen, reviewing your collection of observations to help you quickly identify children who may need support to access the provision provided.
Children with learning differences
The Cherry Garden framework is a child-centred tool created to support educators working with children with learning differences.
The unique interactive orchard provides the opportunity to celebrate progress and engage children and families with their learning.
Reflective practice
Tapestry’s Reflections is a place to consider and share adaptations in your provision for individual children, and to gain insight into the pedagogical knowledge and confidence of staff so you can tailor CPD to the needs of individuals and the team.
