Reports are the bigger picture. Where the journal shares individual moments, a report draws a whole stretch of time together into one summary written by your child’s key person.

What you’ll receive

Term summaries — written each term by your child’s key person: what your child has enjoyed and achieved, what the nursery is working on with them next, and ideas to try at home. (Reports shared before autumn 2026 are called progress reports.) Each report shows the period it covers and who wrote it. Reports appear here as soon as the nursery shares them.
A term summary for Brandon: what he enjoyed this term, a next step he achieved, a list of what the nursery is working on next, and ideas to try at home
The progress check at age two — every child has this check between their second and third birthdays. It’s a short summary of how your child is getting on in three areas: talking and listening, physical development, and their personal, social and emotional development. Your child’s key person may add comments on each area, on how your child learns, ideas to try at home, and links to moments from the journal that show your child’s progress. It also sets out how the nursery and you can support them next. When your child’s check is ready, you’ll get an email and the check is marked Needs your signature. Open it to:
  1. Read the check.
  2. Add your own comments, if you’d like — for example what your child enjoys at home.
  3. Check the Share with my health visitor switch. It’s on to start with, so the nursery may share the check with your health visitor and other professionals involved in your child’s care. Switch it off if you’d rather they didn’t.
  4. Draw your signature, type your name and tap Sign the check. This works the same on the website and in the app.

Only one parent needs to sign. You can download the check as a PDF, which is useful to take to your child’s two-year review with the health visitor.
Reports are kept separate from the journal on purpose. A summary like this is worth sitting down with, rather than scrolling past between photos.

Frequently Asked Questions

​
When will my child’s report appear?

Usually at the end of a term. Your nursery sets its own timings — ask them if you’re expecting one.

​
What are “next steps”?

They’re the few things your child’s key person is working on with them this term, such as taking turns or holding a crayon. The term summary lists them under Next, we’ll be working on, often with a simple idea to try at home.

​
Will the summary tell me what level my child is at?

That depends on your nursery. Many prefer to describe what your child has enjoyed and achieved rather than use levels. If you’d like to know more, ask your child’s key person.

​
Can I download or print a report?

Open the report and use your browser or phone’s print or share option. The progress check at age two can also be downloaded as a PDF.

​
The report mentions something I’d like to talk about.

Speak to your child’s key person. Reports are written to be a conversation starter, and most settings run parent evenings around them.

​
Where is the progress check at age two?

It appears on this page once your nursery shares it, if they complete checks in Pigeonhole. Some nurseries do the check on paper or in a meeting instead — ask your child’s key person.

​
I’ve signed the check but want to change my comment.

Speak to your child’s key person. Once signed the check is locked, but the nursery can reopen it and ask you to sign again.
