At Nordic Star Nurseries we run six children’s progress monitoring reports every year. These take place twice during the Autumn term, twice during the spring term and twice during the summer term. By having such a frequent monitoring system we are able to review on a regular basis our targets and teaching method for each child, allowing us to identify early on if there are any changes to a child’s development and make the necessary intervention accordingly.
These monitoring reports review every child who attends the nursery against their individual learning plans to be able to evaluate whether a child is reaching his or her targets and where teachers/ key workers need to spend more time supporting each child to achieve them. We also monitor how each child is developing alongside the Transversal Competencies. We value the outcome of this particular report as we believe that there is a huge importance for children to be supported to develop their own tools to approach new learning outcomes and be inquisitive, determined learners.
All of these monitoring reports are shared electronically through each parents online portal, and discussed at regular parents evenings. Allowing parents to have immediate access to this on their electronic devices supports each child’s learning as parents can easily look up what the next steps and targets are to encourage these at home and provide a 360 approach to their child’s development.
