ParentZone

At Whiz Kids Nursery we combine caring with education by following the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), which means that we carry out regular observations of every child, ensuring that their learning and development incorporates their interests and needs.

Observation is the formal term for one of the most important aspects of day-to-day professional practice when working with children. This allows key persons to see a child by carefully looking, listening and noting the activities of a child or group of children. This will cover all areas of the EYFS, as well as recording special moments, like your child’s first steps, kindness towards others or even eating something for the first time. All of your child's experiences at nursery are recorded via ParentZone in their unique Learning Journal, enabling you to look over your child’s time at nursery for years to come.

The evidence collected from these observations is analysed regularly to make assessments of the children’s learning and development. Under the EYFS all practitioners working with children are required to use formative assessments and observations to support the children’s individual planning.

What is ParentZone?

ParentZone is a system that allows you to view your child’s Learning Journal online. It is available via a PC or Mac by going to www.parentzone.me and is also available via a smart phone app. It is designed to bring you as a parent, closer to your child’s development in nursery.

How can I access ParentZone?

An email will be sent to your supplied email address which will allow you to register and create a password. You will then be able to log on and view your child’s online portfolio, so you see at any time what your child is achieving during their time in nursery.

You will be able to add observations from home, which our staff teams can utilise in nursery.
