Tapestry Information
Littleview Day Nursery use the secure online system ‘Tapestry’ (https://tapestry.info/security.html) which allows staff and parents to access the information via a personal, password-protected login. Parents and staff have individual passwords to access their Littleview Tapestry account.
Each child’s key person is responsible for their development and the compilation of their learning journals. If a key person is away from the nursery on a training course, or absent through illness or personal matters, all Littleview staff are able to capture observations for their key children and upload these onto the ‘Tapestry’ app, effectively recording and tracking children’s progress and learning. ‘Tapestry’ is used by staff to record significant observations in relation to the EYFS development matters; characteristics of effective learning and well-being and involvement scales and by parents to comment on Nursery observations or to upload their own photos or videos of moments that have happened at home. These observations or events can be recorded as written notes, photos and videos.

Free Education for 3-4 year olds
Littleview is registered with KCC to enable the nursery to claim for universal and extended hours the term after your child is 3.
The Childcare Act 2016 is delivering the Government’s election manifesto commitment to giving families (where parents are working and eligible) an entitlement to up to 30 Hours of Free Childcare for their three and four year olds. The national roll-out of 30 Hours of Free Childcare commenced on the 1 September 2017.
A child qualifies for the extended entitlement if both parents are working (or the sole parent in a lone parent family is working) and each parent earns, on average, a weekly minimum equivalent to 16 hours (National Minimum Wage or National Living Wage) and less than £100k a year.
