Tapestry is an easy to use online service dedicated to the process of profiling a child’s development within the requirements of the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage). It is fully compliant with the revised EYFS framework.
How we use “Tapestry” at the Nursery:
-
collect photographic evidence of individual children activities and acheivement;
-
annotate each evidence item;
-
access each evidence item against the EYFS early learning goals;
-
additionally, using a web browser to record profile judgements based on the 3 “learning characteristics”;
-
we reinforce assessments using the ‘development statements’ taken from ‘development matters’;
