Setting your Learning Frameworks

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Nursery Story supports multiple Early Years learning frameworks to suit your setting. You can easily enable the ones you use and customise how you monitor learning across observations and reports.

Step-by-Step: How to Set Learning Frameworks

  1. Go to Settings

  2. Click on Learning Frameworks

  3. Toggle ON the frameworks you'd like to use. You can choose from:

    • Development Matters 2012

    • Development Matters 2021

    • Birth to 5 Matters

Tips & Hints

You can activate more than one framework at a time! This means:

  • You can run different frameworks for different children

  • Group observations can include children using different frameworks

  • Each framework produces its own tailored report

Monitoring Titles

Every setting monitors children’s development a little differently — and that’s okay. Nursery Story lets you tailor your Monitoring Titles so they reflect your style and approach.

By Default we provide 4 monitoring titles (e.g., Emerging, Developing, Secure, Exceeding).

These appear in:

  • Learning & Development Observations

The Monitoring Report

  3. Click Edit to rename or recolour titles

  4. Use the toggles to enable/disable any titles you want to include

  1. Toggle On/Off - Customise the number of monitoring titles to monitor children against. Simply toggle them on and off with ease
