Creating custom report templates
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.
These reports can either be the standard report templates provided by the system, or custom made. Creating a custom report gives you more freedom over the frameworks you use to assess children, and lets you add or remove certain fields.
Reports have to be created on the web version, usually by a manager, but can be edited on the practitioner app.
