HOW DOES IT WORK?

Tapestry provides each individual child with an online Learning Journal held online. Parents and carers are given their own log-in using their email. All our staff are given a secure log-in. They can then upload observations, photos or videos; recording children’s achievements and assessing their learning in reference to the EYFS curriculum. Once added to Tapestry, an email is automatically generated to parents/carers set up to that child’s account and they are informed that an observation has been added so they can have a look and add any of their own comments to it. Parents/carers can also add their own observations of their child to share progress and milestones at home. To find out more about how Tapestry works, please click here.

HOW SECURE IS IT?

Tapestry is hosted in the UK on dedicated, secure servers. These servers conform to very high safety standards and are proactively managed by a central security team. A copy of Tapestry’s Privacy Policy is available to download here.

WHO CAN ACCESS MY CHILD’S LEARNING JOURNAL?

St David’s Early Years department has access to all of the children’s Learning Journals. You will only have access to your child’s journal and this cannot be seen by other parents. However, children in the class will sometimes be photographed with others as they work together. For this reason, we will ask permission for your child to appear in photographs within other children’s Learning Journals. It is crucial that you DO NOT share photos or videos from your child’s journal on social media or through other online platforms. All parents/carers will be requested to sign a consent form and if there are any incidents where confidentiality is broken, these will result in access to the system being withdrawn.

HOW DO I LOG ON?

Once you have signed and returned your consent form, you will be given your account login details. Simply, click on the Tapestry logo at the top of this page and enter your details as requested. Once logged in, you can click on your name in the top right hand corner and select ‘edit preferences’ to change your password and pin number. The pin is used for the app, which can be downloaded to your mobile phone or tablet. For further help, please click on the relevant tutorial here.
