Creating and filling out reports

Reports are a way for parents to see how a child is progressing. You have a choice between Summative and Transition reports. Transition reports are much like Summative reports, except that they give more of a sense of how a child has progressed since starting at the nursery, and so are useful if a child is moving to a another nursery/starting school and you'd like to share their progress with the new setting.

Reports have to be created on the web version, usually by a manager, but can be edited on either the web or the practitioner app. When a report has been filled out, it can be published to parents. Parents are able to review the report and Complete it to confirm they've seen it.
