Choose your frameworks
Go to Settings → Learning Frameworks.
Toggle on any frameworks you want to use (you can have more than one active), except where noted:
Development Matters (2012)
Development Matters (2021)
Birth to 5 Matters
Curriculum for Excellence (Scotland) - used on its own. Turning this on will turn the others off (and vice-versa).
Your selection controls what you see in EYFS observations and in reports.
Monitoring titles (your wording)
Every childminder records progress a little differently. You can rename the monitoring options to match how you like to work.
In Settings → Learning Frameworks, scroll to Monitoring titles.
Use the Edit button to change the name and colour of each title.
Toggle on/off titles to choose how many you want to use.
By default there are 4 titles. You can keep fewer or rename them to your wording.
Your titles appear when you add a Learning & Development observation and in the Monitoring report.
Tip: Keep titles short and clear (e.g., “Needs support”, “On track”, “Greater depth”).
Monitoring titles are then found as part of a L&D Observation:
And again make up the Monitoring Report:
Good to know
You can switch frameworks on/off any time.
Monitoring titles can be updated later if your approach changes.
These settings affect what you see when creating new observations and reports.
