From the Once upon a time Nursery School
At Once Upon a Time, our goal is to give families in Norwich the best possible childcare.
Julie and John Banbury founded a family-owned, family-managed company with four childcare schools in 2007.
Additionally, we have selected a variety of our resources to motivate young children.
We take great pride in the fact that two of our childcare schools have received the Outstanding and Good ratings from Ofsted.
A child's growth can be recorded, followed, and celebrated by parents and childcare professionals using the user-friendly online learning diary Tapestry.
Parents can view key moments, track their child's development, and even add their own content in each child's online journal, which is accessible to everyone.
Every input contributes to building a whole narrative of a child's time at Once Upon a Time.
Tapestry is a programme that simplifies and enhances recording within the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Key Stage 1 (KS1) and Key Stage 2 (KS2) curricula.
Numerous nurseries, pre-schools, and schools utilise it around the nation.
Once Upon a Time gives you a memory stick with a permanent copy of your child's journal as a memento when they graduate.
Additionally, your child's infant school receives a copy.
