TAPESTRY FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
Tapestry
What do I do if I can't login to my account?
The first step is to try resetting your password. Just click on “Having trouble logging in?” on the main login page, then enter your email address. We’ll send you a password reset link—be sure to check your spam or junk folder, just in case it ends up there.
If you don’t receive the email or the reset doesn’t work, feel free to reach out to us at customer.service@eyfs.info and we’ll be happy to help.
How do I link parents and children together?
The easiest way to do it in bulk is through the Manage Relationships button on the Manage Relatives page on the Control Panel. Alternatively, edit an individual parent and scroll to the bottom of the page.
This tutorial covers both options for you.
Why are my children still showing as enrolling?
Enrolling children will not automatically become active on your account at a specific time, you will need to manually activate them.
If you are unable to activate your enrolling children, this will be because your subscription is full. You may want to go through your list of children to see if any could be deleted which will free up spaces on your account. If not, you will need to increase your subscription. You can upgrade your subscription through your FSF account or alternatively, get in touch with us at customer.service@eyfs.info and we’d be happy to help.
We have siblings on our account. How do I add the parent/s to both children
Parents can be linked to multiple children on the same account so you don’t need to add more than one account for a parent if they have siblings at your school/setting.
This tutorial goes through how to link parents and children together on Tapestry.
How can relatives get notifications when we upload observations of their child?
A manager on your Tapestry account can set the permissions for relatives so they can receive notifications. This can be done through the Control Panel > User Permissions > Relatives tab > Notifications.
Relatives will then be able to choose their notification preferences through their own account. We have a guide to support them with doing this which we have attached for you here.
Can parents be set up on multiple Tapestry accounts?
If a parent already has a login, setting them up on a new Tapestry account won’t affect their access to other settings. You can simply add them as a relative by following the usual steps.
Why has a parent not received an email to activate their account?
If you chose to activate the parent by sending an activation email, it’s likely the email may have landed in their spam or junk folder.
It’s worth asking them to check there first. If they still can’t find it, you can verify their email address via the Control Panel → Manage Relatives page.
If the address is correct, you can resend the activation email by following these steps.
Can you use Tapestry in KS1/2?
Yes! Tapestry supports teachers and subject leaders with features like ‘Flags’ for tagging observations by subject, making it easy to track curriculum coverage and spot learning trends. It also captures learning in diverse ways—photos, videos, and written notes—ideal for subjects like PE, art, and science. With ‘Activities’ and ‘Child Login’, children can engage directly, encouraging independence and a well-rounded view of their progress.

SUBSCRIPTIONS
How much does Tapestry cost?
You can see all our package sizes and prices on our pricing page on our main website.
Where can I see my subscription information?
Any manager on your account can see information such as your package size, subscription expiry date and email address your account is under by logging in through the browser version of Tapestry and navigating to the Control Panel. You can see these details in the ‘Your Subscription’ section of the ‘Overview’ page.
How do I change the email address where invoices are sent?
You can either update your email address through your FSF account, which you can access through eyfs.info, or pop us an email to customer.service@eyfs.info and we’d be happy to assist. Remember, all managers on an account can access invoices through the Control Panel -> Overview.
Can I increase my package size and how?
Yes – you can upgrade your account at any point throughout the year. Contact our friendly support team and they can generate an upgrade invoice for you.
When will I receive my renewal invoice?
Renewal invoices are automatically generated 30 days before an expiry date and are sent via email to the account holder, as well as any alternative contacts you have set up.
Managers can check the account holder email, and view any invoices, through their Tapestry account by logging in via the browser version of Tapestry and going to the Control Panel -> Overview.
My subscription has lapsed and I can’t login. How do I renew?
If your renewal invoice isn’t paid by your renewal date, your account will lapse and become temporarily frozen. As long as we receive payment within 90 days, your account will be reactivated as soon as the invoice is marked as paid.
If you’re a manager user you can access your invoice via the “View & pay the latest invoice” button when you try and login. If you are unable to locate your invoice, please contact us by emailing customer.service@eyfs.info.
