An MIS Integration Partnership to Support your School

Secure transfer

Safely transfer children’s and relatives’ data directly from your MIS to Tapestry. Wonde’s secure gateway supports your safeguarding responsibilities, and makes it easier to keep details up to date.

Time savings

Reduce admin workload. Automated updates and a single point of management minimise manual tasks for educators and office staff, allowing you to focus on what really matters – supporting your children, their families, and your team.

Automatic data synchronisation

Seamlessly integrate your Tapestry account with your Management Information System (MIS). Children’s and relatives’ information flows straight into Tapestry, reducing duplication, errors, and repeated updates.

Who is Wonde? Tapestry's MIS Integration Partner

Trusted by over 30,000 schools worldwide, Wonde provides the safe and secure sharing of relevant data with chosen third-party applications.

Manual processing of school data is insecure, time-consuming, and prone to errors. Wonde’s solution automates data sharing with approved third-party applications, eliminating the need for manual updates or CSV uploads.

FAQs

What data will be synced from our school’s management information system?

All relevant children’s and parents’/carers’ profile data will be securely synced. This includes relationships between children and their parents/carers, full names, dates of birth, year groups, SEN status, and more. Automatic linking ensures that you won’t have to manually connect each child with their parents or carers.

Does the integration support multiple schools under one trust?

Yes. Each school can connect its MIS to Tapestry via Wonde, but the integration must be set up and managed individually for each school.

Is MIS integration available to both primary schools and early years settings using Tapestry?

Absolutely. All you need is a Wonde account to connect it to your Tapestry account.

How can I connect my Wonde account with Tapestry?

Wonde admins can give permission for data sharing with Tapestry from their Wonde portal by using this link: https://school.wonde.com/login

The Tapestry and Wonde integration will first need to be purchased. Then you can start importing users via Wonde.

How much does the Wonde integration cost?

Because the integration is powered by Wonde rather than being a built-in Tapestry feature, there is a small annual fee of £60 + VAT to enable and maintain the secure connection. This ensures your children’s and parents’/carers’ data is kept up to date and fully secure.

Does Tapestry integrate with Arbor?

Yes. Wonde enables automatic syncing of children’s and parents’/carers’ information from Arbor directly into Tapestry.

Does Tapestry integrate with Bromcom?

Yes. Schools using Bromcom can securely sync children’s and parents’/carers’ data into Tapestry via Wonde.

Does Tapestry integrate with SIMS?

Yes. Wonde allows SIMS users to automatically keep children’s and parents’/carers’ information up to date in Tapestry.

Does Tapestry integrate with other MIS systems?

You can check what other MIS systems are available on the Wonde website.

If you cannot see your MIS system listed and would like to speak to Wonde about having it added, you can get in touch with them by emailing support@wonde.com, or calling 01638 438094.

An example Reflection

The Early Years manager at Tapestry Primary School, Gabriel, has noticed issues with storing objects for loose parts play. He adds his thoughts to Tapestry as a reflection, and outlines what he hopes to achieve.

His co-manager, Jules, thinks it would be great to get the children’s families involved, and comments on the reflection to say she’ll speak to the Head about sending out a letter to parents.

Staff member Katie reports that after the letter is sent out, several parents have brought in some excellent repurposed items to use for Gabriel’s idea.

Tapestry Reflections are designed to be returned to as many times as needed – Gabriel, Katie and Jules can keep adding comments, and report on the impact once everything has come together!

Tapestry Reflections

The Reflections area of Tapestry is a structured, staff-only space for understanding the impact of your provision. You can add individual reflections to record thoughts about specific children, your practice, or even procedures within your setting. Capture notes individually or collaborate as a team to share insights, highlight strengths, and plan meaningful next steps for children and your school or setting.

Using Documents

Tapestry’s Documents feature gives you a secure, central space to store and share important files with families and staff. Whether it’s policies, forms, or helpful resources, everything is easy to organise and access when needed.

You can control who sees each document, with built-in virus scanning for added peace of mind.

Unlimited Media

Tapestry allows you to upload unlimited photos, videos, documents, and audio, making it easy to capture and share children’s learning in ways that feel natural and meaningful. Visual media helps bring observations to life, supporting understanding for all families, regardless of language or confidence with written communication.

With no limits, you can focus on what matters most – the moments themselves.

By encouraging Family Observations

Tapestry allows relatives to add their own observations from home, helping you build a fuller picture of each child’s development. These moments offer valuable insight into a child’s interests, experiences, and achievements beyond the setting.

By involving families, you can create a more connected and meaningful view of each child’s learning.

Using Reports

With Tapestry’s Reports feature, you can choose from a range of ready-made templates or design your own using a flexible editor. This makes it easy to create reports that reflect your approach and your school or setting’s needs.

Reports can be shared with families, helping you communicate each child’s progress, development, and next steps clearly.

Using Messaging

Tapestry’s Messaging feature makes it easy to communicate directly with relatives in a secure, familiar environment. Whether it’s a quick update before the day begins or a follow-up afterwards, conversations stay clear, private, and easy to manage.

Using Activities

With Tapestry’s Activities feature, staff can share ideas for learning at home, helping families stay connected to their child’s development. Activities can be simple, flexible, and easy to fit into everyday routines, making it easier for parents and carers to get involved.

Families can also respond with their own observations, supporting a more complete view of each child’s journey.

Using Memos

Tapestry’s Memos feature allows staff to send messages to groups of relatives, making it easy to share announcements, reminders, and important updates in one place. Staff can even use Memos to introduce themselves to families before a child’s first day, helping everyone feel familiar and prepared ahead of the transition. Everything stays within Tapestry, helping communication remain clear, consistent, and easy to access.

Using Messaging

Tapestry’s Messaging feature allows you to communicate directly with individual staff members or relatives, keeping conversations private, secure, and easy to follow. It’s ideal for sharing updates, asking questions, or having more personal conversations about a child’s day.

Using the Admin Toolkit

As part of Tapestry’s Admin Toolkit, you can transfer child profiles, together with their connected relatives, between Tapestry accounts. This ensures their learning journey continues smoothly, even as they move settings.

Alongside this, you can customise your account, schedule posts in advance, add unlimited staff and relatives, store unlimited data, and tailor notification settings to suit your team.

Bring it all together

Each part of Tapestry strengthens the next. Use Memos to share reminders or keep everyone aligned for the week ahead. Follow up with Direct Messaging when a parent needs reassurance, a quick clarification, or a more personal conversation. Set Activities to extend learning beyond the classroom – whether it’s practising spellings, noticing maths in the real world, or encouraging creative thinking at home.
Together, they keep communication clear, learning connected, and families involved in the everyday life of your classroom.

Bring it all together

Each feature on Tapestry supports the next. Observations capture the everyday moments of learning, with flags helping you highlight what matters as you go. If a child needs extra support, the Areas of Concern screen brings those flagged moments together so you can see everything in one place and from there, Reflections help you plan and record the actions you want to take.

Together, they help you celebrate the small moments, notice emerging needs, and plan thoughtful support for every child.

Using Bespoke Frameworks

Build your own curriculum using a CSV file, ready to import into Tapestry. You can create your own areas, aspects, statements and scales, organise them into a structure that suits your setting, and assess against them in observations.

Using Flags

Flags allow you to label an observation with specific points of reference, such as the EYFS areas, celebrations, or custom flags you have created. Once applied, these flags can be viewed and filtered for a specific child, or the whole setting, helping you quickly locate relevant observations.

Using the Areas of Concern Screen

The Areas of Concern screen gives you one place to note where a child may need more support across the EYFS areas. Any observations you’ve flagged in those areas appear here automatically, making it easy to look back at what you’ve seen and what it relates to. You can also start reflections from this screen, helping you keep track of the support you’re planning, 

Using Reflections

Use structured staff-only reflections to understand the impact of your provision. Make notes for yourself, or work as a team to share insights, highlight strengths, and plan meaningful next steps for children, or for your setting as a whole.

Using Tapestry’s Monitoring tools

Whether you’re using EYFS flags, working with specific frameworks, or building your own curriculum, Tapestry keeps everything in one place. Our monitoring screens give you a clear, holistic picture so you can celebrate strengths and plan for what comes next.

Using Observations

Tapestry’s Observations feature allows you to capture photos, videos, notes, and audio in the moment. Add area flags and assessments, link other observations and activities, and build each child’s journal — then share updates with families with a single tap.
