In nursery we produce a Learning Journey file for every child. This is a record of their learning in the nursery, through observations, photographs and ‘work’. This is shared and also added to by parents. The children love to look at their own files and then get to keep them when leaving nursery.

Each child develops at their own rate and in their own individual way.
