Learning journals with a major difference… the Interactive Learning Diary2024-08-16T16:02:35+01:00

The leading online learning journals software designed by nursery managers, practitioners, and primary teachers.

Online learning journals just got a whole lot easier!

Are you looking for a new learning journals software to streamline your child development recording, tracking and progress? If so, our Interactive Learning Diary could be the perfect time and cost-effective solution you require.

From personal experience, we know that tracking child development in a busy nursery or primary school is no easy task. Maintaining the highest standards of education can be overwhelming at times. But our cutting-edge learning journals are designed to simplify your workload and assist you to provide the best learning experiences for young children.

But there’s much, much more to this than just education software. It’s about people… the education of children and helping busy educators and parents to work in close partnership.

As a special school we have found the ILD invaluable, as we can upload our own curricula. We can now assess our pupils against more meaningful outcomes and in the areas that really matter to them. Teachers are no longer duplicating assessments, as they can link a single observation to multiple areas of learning. We can clearly see where pupils’ barriers to or gaps in their learning are and provide the support required.

The ILD is an easy and simple assessment tool which provides opportunities for users to add assessment that suits them and their school. It provides practitioners with the flexibility to develop their observations by the use of approval from the super user which also gives you an insight to CPD needed. Observations are easy to do and provide a clear layout to show whether it is child initiated or adult led.

Lizzy Evans - Early Years Team Leader

I have to say that you guys still always offer the best support with regards to tailoring the ILD and I will be renewing the ILD again. Things seem to be moving forward all the time with the ILD which is great because the Early Years sector is constantly evolving.

Nikki Field - Early Years Teacher & Subject Leader

I would recommend the ILD unreservedly. We use it from playgroup to year 6. They have allowed us to edit the curriculum throughout the school to suit our international context. The level of support that they provide is outstanding. I have used other platforms but have

returned to the ILD because of the level of data analysis is more detailed and intuitive. They continually improve their product and are very open to feedback.

Hannah Bennett - Primary Principal

Our experience of working with the ILD team has been nothing short of outstanding for both the product and their amazing support.  We have strong policies in place to support our ethos of ‘working in partnership with parents’ and the ILD has really underpinned this for us. Working in partnership with our parents opens the lines of communication between staff and parents, putting the child at the centre of everything we do.

Pupil Timeline

With the ILD learning journals software, early years practitioners can create a comprehensive, chronological timeline that captures every aspect of an individual child’s educational journey with the Pupil Timeline. This powerful feature allows you to instantly access a detailed record of observations, offering daily insights and notes on the child’s activities, behaviours, and interactions.

It also includes thorough assessments, detailing the child’s progress across various developmental milestones and learning objectives, as well as checkpoints that mark significant achievements and areas for growth. The timeline also highlights personalised next steps in learning, guiding the child’s future development with tailored plans and goals.

Flag for Focus

With Flag for Focus, you can flag a child as requiring extra focus in their learning from the Observation Manager, Pupil Timeline, Reflections, and Next Steps modules.

The emotional, social, and physical development of young children has a direct effect on their overall development and on the adult they will become. You must consider the whole child, their physical, social, and emotional wellbeing, health, and learning while they are in your care. Being able to identify where the child may need extra support in their learning is crucial to their overall wellbeing.

Progress & Tracking

Effectively tracking a child’s progress in nursery or primary school can be quite difficult and time consuming. The tools provided in the ILD learning journal software enables educators of all age groups to instantly view and monitor all important progress against any of your available standard or bespoke curriculums using a wide range of reporting options.

Instantly track all important progress against any of your available standard or bespoke curriculums using a wide variety of reporting options. View an individual child’s progress against a chosen curriculum showing current performance in relation to all areas of learning.

    Parent Partnerships

    The free Interactive 360 app available for Apple and Android devices allows educators and parents to enjoy an easy and extremely beneficial line of communication. As all education inspectors will confirm, an excellent educator – child – parent partnership provides numerous benefits and learning opportunities for a child.

    But… families too can play a very important part in a child’s learning and development. Fishing with Grandad or baking a cake with Mum all provide invaluable learning experiences for children. So… with parental consent and security verification, there are no limits to the number of family members who have access to and can contribute to a child’s learning journal!

    Curriculum Builder

    The cost of curriculum packages and designers can be expensive, putting pressure on budgets and limiting options. In the past, in-house curriculum design and development was a time-consuming and overwhelming task for busy teachers. This no longer applies with our fully integrated ILD learning journal Curriculum Builder.

    It’s the perfect multi-functional solution that was developed by teachers worldwide who were disappointed with the curriculums they used. It provides a comprehensive management system to design and deliver the curriculum you require for your nursery, school, or outdoor centre. There are no limits to what you can achieve, and you can create your own extensive curriculum library at no additional cost, taking your curriculum design to a whole new level.
