We use an online Learning Journey System (Babys Days)this allows staff and parents to access the
information from any computer via a personal, password-protected login.
Staff access allows input of new observations and photos or amendment of
existing observations and photos. Parent access allows input of new
observations and photos or the addition of comments on existing observations and photos –
parent logins do not have the necessary permission to edit existing material.
- • Observations input into the system are moderated by a member of the management team before
being added to the child’s learning journey.
- • Parents are asked to sign a consent form giving permission for their child’s image to
appear in other children’s learning journeys, and to protect images of other children that
may appear in any photos contained in their child’s Learning Journey.
- • The Learning Journey is started once the child has started Nursery. During the first term
entries will be made more frequently as staff get to know the children.
- • In all written observations, other children will not be referred to by name.
- • Staff will be provided with tablets to access the system wirelessly while working. These
tablets are for work use only and not allowed to be taken home.
- • Babys days is also used as a general communication tool between Nursery and home. A
child’s learning journey is a document recording their learning and development and
parents may add comments on observations or contribute photos, videos or information about
activities they have been doing at home.
- • Parents may contact us through the usual channels for any other day-to-day matters, e.g
absence, lost property etc.
Security
- • The Babysdayson-line Learning journey system is hosted on secure dedicated servers based in
the U.K.
- • Photos and observations are not stored on the individual tablet or computer.
- • Access to information stored on system can only be gained by unique user ID and password.
- • Each staff have their own user ID and password and they must use that to add obs, next step
etc.
- • When a member of staff leaves the company their login is deleted.
- • Parents can only see their own child’s information and are unable to login to view other
children’s Learning Journeys.
