ParentZone Guide
ParentZone is the way for parents to access their Learning Journals account.
Why are we doing this?
ParentZone logins allow you to login to your Learning Journals account using your email address and a password that you create. It also allows you to link profiles for children who are attending different schools or nurseries, so you can have one login for all your children.
To get started you will need an existing Learning Journals account, your school or nursery should have arranged for login instructions to come out to you already. If you don’t have this, contact your school or nursery.
Got your Learning Journals login details?
If a nursery or school creates an account for you you will receive an email from us with instructions on how to activate your account.
Once active you can login using a browser at parentzone.yourlearningjournals.co.uk or use the free iOS and Android apps, just search “Learning Journals ParentZone” in your app store.
If we detect you have multiple children in the Learning Journals system we will ask you to link your accounts. This means that if you have children in multiple settings you will be able to access them from one account in ParentZone.
Navigating ParentZone
All children that you have access to will appear for selection along the bottom of the screen.
You will also be able to access any messages from your schools or nurseries using the buttons along the bottom, as well as accessing your settings and preferences.
The Stream page gives you a view of everything that has been added to the profiles of the children that you have access to. This could be observations, stories, daily diary events, messages etc.
Using the filter to change views
Use the filter button at the top left of the screen to bring up the filter menu to change views of what you would like to see (remember to click the Apply button when changing views!)
Parent Contributions
If your setting has enabled Parent Contributions you will be able to add them contributions using the button at the top right. If your school or nursery has not enabled this feature it will not appear.
