Updated Design:
We have improved the design of Parent Portal by colour-coding sections to make it easier to identify drop-offs, observations, activities and pick-ups. 

Videos in Full-Screen: 
Parents/Carers are now able to view videos in full-screen on their device.

Photos in Full-Screen:
Parents/Carers are now able to view photos in full-screen on their device.

Photo Gallery: 
If more than one photo has been uploaded to an observation or activity, parents/carers will be able to view them in a photo gallery.  

EYFS included on Observations:
All observations in the Newsfeed will now show any EYFS areas they have been linked to.

Child's Photo displayed in the Newsfeed:
If a parent/carer has more than one child attending your Setting, they will see a photo of their child on each observation entry in the Newsfeed. 

Speed Improvements:
We've made some changes behind the scenes to make the Newsfeed load much faster.
