See the observations, photos, and EYFS progress your childminder records — and how it all builds into your child's Learning Journey.
The Learning Journey is where your childminder records what your child is learning — photos and notes tied directly to the EYFS framework, building into a picture of their development over time.
Tap into any entry to see the full picture:
Together, these build a record of progress you can look back through at any point, not just at a formal review.
If your child is due a statutory review — like the 2-Year Progress Check — your childminder pulls evidence directly from these observations, so what you see here is the same record that feeds their official reports.
Because entries are added as they happen, the Learning Journey gives you a genuine sense of your child's day-to-day development — not just a summary written up weeks later. It's also a natural way to keep the conversation with your childminder going: ask about a next step you've seen, or share something you've noticed at home.
EYFS requires childminders to track and share your child's development — the Learning Journey is how KinderStart makes that visible to you as it happens, rather than saved up for a termly report.
