Footsteps 2

Footsteps 2 is a contemporary EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) tracking app designed to enhance the connection between nurseries and parents. It provides valuable insights into children's developmental progress, showcasing an easy way for educators to record achievements and observations during playtime. Importantly, the app incorporates robust privacy features, including advanced photo tagging and blurring to protect children's identities.

The platform stands out with its ability to allow nurseries to recognize and celebrate children's development through an achievements feature. It facilitates sharing of observations, complete with media attachments, directly with parents and carers via an integrated Parent Portal, ensuring they are kept up-to-date on their child's progression and milestones.

The feature-rich platform includes comprehensive tools such as assessments for two-year checks and the complete EYFS profile, tailored observation suggestions, and the ability to differentiate between children who may require additional support or challenge. With options for editing photos, grouping observations, and assessing wellbeing using the Leuven Scales, it offers a well-rounded approach to monitoring early years development.

Moreover, detailed reports that can be printed, emailed, or exported in bulk are readily available. These reports cover a wide range of metrics, from individual and group progress to more specialized ones like Learning Journeys and Statement Gaps, ensuring a clear and concise way to track every aspect of a child's early educational journey.

The interface is not only user-friendly but also allows for the secure maintenance of essential child information, including personal details, cohorts, allergies, and medical conditions. In endorsing learning achievement, Footsteps 2 provides a means to share accolades and certificates, further motivating the child's continued growth and engagement. This tool is an essential asset for any nursery looking to streamline its EYFS tracking and enhance parental engagement.
