Care Diary

Part of the Parent Communication Suite

Save paper and time by creating and sharing care diary entries digitally

Streamline your processes

The Tapestry Care Diary allows you to record children’s food consumption, toileting, sleeps, milk feeds, accidents, incidents, medication and anything else you’d like through the general log, as well as providing a messaging tool to discuss those with relatives.

For schools or settings who don’t need all of the above, Accidents & Medication only can be enabled on its own.

The Care Diary is available on the Tapestry app, as well as the browser version.

Only need Accidents & Medication?

If you don’t require all of the entry types within the Care Diary and just need access to the accidents, incidents and medication sections, you can enable ‘Accidents & Medication’ only.

This allows you to log accident and incident entries, record and administer medications, and take digital signatures from relatives.

Quickly record

Using the simple interface you can add records for one child at a time or for multiple children at once. You can even create a bulk entry with small tweaks for individuals within a group.

Staff can see a daily timeline of a child’s care and share it with relatives or carers when they’re ready.

Accident reporting made simple

Accidents can be recorded either within the Care Diary or Accidents & Medication. You can include details of the accidents, any first aid given, and attach a Body Map if needed. You can request digital sign-off from a parent’s device via Tapestry, or obtain a physical signature in person.

Understand patterns and support safeguarding

The Care Diary’s reporting tools give you a clear overview of accidents, incidents, accidents at home, and medication across your setting. Use the reports to spot patterns, inform your safeguarding practice, and export data when you need it.
