“We have been using Little Vista for 12 months now and as a service manager, I can 100% recommend it without hesitation. We have a large service and the manager platform allows me to keep track of all children and their families and the interactions that occur between parents and the early year professionals in the service. During the Covid-19 pandemic, Little Vista was so important to us, it allowed us to build positive relationships between the key workers from the service and the home. The instant messaging service is so convenient for EYPs to request simple things like more nappies or a change of clothes. It also provides an opportunity for us to send group messages to all parents/families, and amongst the team ourselves. At first, the EYPs were a little apprehensive about using it and adjusting to the changeover but they really enjoy how quick, easy and simple the app is to use and it saves a lot of time writing and documenting which means they get to spend more meaningful time with the children. Little Vista is great for keeping a running record of children’s daily, weekly and overall progress. It is an easier and more efficient way of recording weekly observations and provides a great opportunity for parents to comment and reply on their child’s progress. Little Vista has also been very beneficial around the settling in periods of children where videos can be sent in real-time to the worried parents to show how their child is adapting to the new environments after the parent leaves the room. Overall Little Vista will continue to be an important part of our practice as it benefits the early year’s professionals in making their roles easier and has created really positive relationships with parents and the family home."
