Guest Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 HI I wonder if anyone has come across any decent software for assessing electronically children's progress in Nursery. We are looking for something for our Nursery. I have seen Target tracker and this looks good but wondered if there are any alternatives. I am a Reception teacher and use the e profile which is very effective but does not allow you to go back from the ELG's. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated if there is anything out there on the market. Or do we need something developed to help us with tracking our assessments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Hi Tricky7 and welcome! I believe Birmingham were trialling a nursery profile of some description but not sure of any other details. Presumably you are looking for all the other fancy bits that eprofile gives you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wolfie Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Two of the maintained nurseries in our area use the "Essex Tracker" - not sure of any details but they both seem to find it workable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiny Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 There is a pregress tracker element on this site also comes with a lot of other stuff you probably wouldn't use though. Thought it may be worth a look though?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mundia Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 weclome tricky7, thanks for making your first post. Birmingham do have a pre profile called Progress towards the profile which is exactly like the eprofile but with more statements at the beginning between the 1,2 and 3 points. I think it may only be available in Birmingham at the moment though. Having said that I think we will see a quite big shift in LAs producing assessment and tracking type materials in the near future and Id be very tempted to say hold on and wait before you go and invest large sums of money in something that your LA may bring out for free. I think its case of watch this space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Thanks for the replies I have heard about the nursery profile in Birmingham but had tried to get a copy but have not been able to find it. I have ideas for what we could do with to assess in both nursery and Reception and would like a more advanced version of the e-profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
