[/crocal_title][crocal_empty_space][vc_column_text]Learning journals record the story of a child’s development and are an essential way to mark the milestones and achievements of our future superheroes. Learning journals not only provide evidence to support planning for individual learning needs, but they’re also a lovely keepsake for parents and children.

These journals were formerly created on paper, but today, busy nurseries turn to online Learning Journeys, where it’s quick and easy to record those “Wow!” moments and share them with parents.[/vc_column_text][crocal_empty_space][crocal_video video_link=”https://youtu.be/bDjwChg1mEM?autoplay=1″ el_class=”dc-video dc-tablet dc-videopadding” margin_bottom=”-60px”][vc_column_text]

Learning Journeys is the Nursery Story most recent software update

The Nursery Story Learning Journey feature is a simple, quick and accurate way to record a child’s EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) observations all in one place and is an ideal way to showcase your children’s experiences, learning and development at nursery. You can also download Learning Journeys as a pdf document and share them with parents and carers.

Customisable with a range of options, our Learning Journey feature allows you to select what you want to show in the learning journal. For example, filter the observations in the learning journal by date, include EYFS and CoEL links or choose to show all observations.

  • Learning Journeys record the “Wow!” moments you want to share with parents
  • Observations and next steps will seamlessly feed into the child’s Learning Journey
  • Learning journeys record the story of a child’s development and are an important way to showcase their milestones and achievements
  • You can share learning journeys with families or print them out so that children can reflect on their learning and talk about what they want to do next

Q1. What makes the Nursery Story Learning Journeys feature better than the competitors?

It’s quick and easy to download Nursery Story Learning Journeys and share with families. It’s very adaptable; there are several options so you can choose what to include. It’s a fantastic resource to share with children and talk about their experiences at nursery, including what they’ve learnt, how they’ve developed and grown and the things they’d like to do next.

Q2. Do the Learning Journeys take into consideration the new Development Matters from Sept 2021?

Yes! The observations created under the new Development Matters document will feed into the child’s Learning Journey. The new EYFS non-statutory curriculum guidance focuses on reducing paperwork as much as possible, giving more time for nursery staff to spend with children.

Using Nursery Story allows childcare businesses to reduce paperwork up to 70%. This means, any nursery settings will cut administrative costs and time tremendously.

Q3. What makes Nursery Story Learning Journeys stand out above the competition?

The new Nursery Story Learning Journeys includes all you need to create informative  learning journals:

• Magical Moments

Capture children’s learning, development and growth with pictures to include as evidence in their journal.

• Next Steps

Each Magical Moment can support planning and learning. Nursery teachers can write a child’s Next Steps, and they will then be automatically added to the Learning Journal.

• A Brief Overview

The Learning Journey showcases each child’s developments and achievements and documents all EYFS and general observations nursery staff have recorded about a child.

• EYFS Links

If required, Learning Journeys can show which areas of learning and characteristics of effective learning are being supported. This feature can be included or omitted at the discretion of the nursery practitioner.
