child details
All about me
One of the changes in the new September 2021 EYFS curriculum emphasised education being more about early years practitioner knowledge of the child, so we thought it would be handy for parents to provide you this information through the Parent Admin app so you can track and manage the quality of information ready for your next Ofsted inspection.
It is also easy for parents to update and log any changes they wish to make which is handy.
Whilst parents can provide information on favourite toys, likes and dislikes, etc. We also gave parents the option to upload photos of their children which also helps when printing off your children’s “all about me” forms.
Power comes not from knowledge kept, but knowledge shared.
