Learning

In our nursery we monitor our children’s development and measure their progress using a mixture of observations, tracking and practitioner knowledge. We use In The Moment Planning, Tapestry, Tracking and 27 Month Reviews to ensure that all of our children reach their full potential within their learning journeys. This also informs us of how our children learn, what their interests may be and in which areas they may need more support or to be challenged.
