Terms

Report Period

  • Choose the date range of the report.

📌Note: If you often create more than one formative report within a term, we recommend selecting the ‘Custom’ report option and selecting shorter date ranges.

Type of Report

Select from the following options:

  • Formative Report

  • 2 Year Check

  • Transition Report

📌Note: These 3 reports all look the same on Blossom. The only difference is how you would like to categorise them.


Child Overview

  • Attendance: This populates with the child’s attendance during the report period you’ve selected.

  • Additional fields come from information in the child’s profile.


Curriculums

Your current curriculums will be listed here, and allow you to fill in the following information:

  • Progress level

  • Age group/range

  • Comments & Next step(s) for home

📌Note: For Montessori nurseries and nurseries still using the EYFS 2012 curriculum, your statements created on your observations will pull through to your formative reports.

📌Note: If you tick ‘Share to parent app’ at the top of the report, parents will only see the areas that have information filled in by the nursery staff member. They will not see any blank sections.


Comments (Child's Voice & Key Person Comment)

These are optional areas that parents love to see!
