Record Keeping

Encouraging children to recognise their own achievements

Developmental progress records are kept on all the children in our care in the form of a photographic album, which will follow your child’s time at the nursery. Records are maintained and updated through observation by our highly knowledgeable staff and cover ‘The 6 Learning Outcomes’.

Depending on the general topic of the term for example; winter or letters and numbers, children complete activities and various works, observations of which are described in the 'Record Keeping' file. They are encouraged to take work home to parents through the term and on occasions are also encouraged to bring things they have made at home.

These recorded observations are essential to parents, encouraging children to recognise their own achievements consequently developing a sense of pride and self-esteem. With prior arrangement it is possible to view your child’s record-keeping book freely, talk to staff and discuss your child's time whilst at Peques Nursery School (maximum of 2 bookings per year).
