Your child’s learning journey

At Cuddles, the term ‘learning journey’ refers to a collection of documents that are collated by your child’s Key Person and other practitioners within your child’s room. This provides a picture of your child’s development under the areas of learning, as identified in the EYFS. Learning journeys consist of photos, artwork, mark-making, etc, and are interspersed with observations and notes of relevant conversations or comments made by your child. Your child’s Key Person will match any observations to the EYFS curriculum guidance. The aim is to build a unique picture of what your child knows, feels and can do, as well as his/her particular interests and learning style. This can then be used to pinpoint learning priorities to help plan relevant and motivating learning experiences. 

We use a  digital platform for learning journeys where Cuddles can record, analyse and share information about your child’s progress.

Paper learning journeys are outdated, impractical and often unavailable to parents, which is why we provide parents with an electronic version of their child’s learning journey which they can access and engage with at any time. Increased visibility means parents can support the skills their son or daughter is learning at nursery by using the same teaching styles and processes at home when planning fun and educational activities.
