Allergies and Permissions

[Lisabroomers]

The management system has some really great features, we currently use Connect Childcare but are keeping up to date with Tapestry improvements with a view to moving over as it develops more. It would be good to have a box to tick if a child has any allergies and then somewhere to write what the allergies are so the staff can all see this. Also a section for permissions would be useful.  Our registration form has a number of questions which parents tick yes or no to, for example "can your child have nappy cream applied", "can you child have sun cream applied", Can staff apply plasters", "can you child have face paint".... etc.  A printable report for meals would also be useful - one which has the children's names on who are having lunch, grouped into which room they are in. One last thing which I think has already been mentioned, is emergency contacts which the staff can see easily from the register.

Thank You

Hi @Lisabroomers,

That's great to hear. We're always looking for ways to improve so thanks for getting in touch with these suggestions.

These are all features we're looking into adding, so I've made a note of your interest in them and fed your ideas back to our development team. When we add any of the requested features we'll be sure to get back in touch and let you know. 🙂

Best wishes,
Alexandra

I can see this was posted in May - nothing has changed yet. We are new to the management software, members of Tapestry for a long time using the journal. I think it is important to have Special Diets appear under the name of child on the register. This is a helpful reminder for staff, particularly those new to the setting or anyone covering. A feature to be able to select these from a multiple selection option would be very helpful. e.g. Non-dairy, vegan, vegetarian, no eggs, no pork, gluten free, lactose free etc. and the option to add it to register might be a good idea. Thank you

Hi @Lisabroomers

We are currently working on providing the best way to record and provide medication, allergy and other dietary information on Tapestry that can be accessed easily by staff when needed, and as you mention, adding this to be accessed via the register is something we are also looking into.

I can see that we have made a note of your previous really helpful feedback and I have passed on your comments above to our development team, specifically related to being able to record important dietary information; we are currently working on a way to provide this in Tapestry in a future release. I have also added the specific request related to a multiple selection section to allow a quick way to highlight one or more sets of dietary requirements or special diets and will feed this back to our development team. 🙂

Best wishes,
