In Early Years, staff use Tapestry, an online journal, to record observations of pupils. Tapestry is used to capture children’s learning at any point of the day. It is also a tool that parents can use to share the children’s learning at home.

We also have our own Instagram page that showcases some of the lovely activities the children do throughout the day. Check us out @benthalearlyyears
