Creating a Nap Observation

How to add when a child has had a sleep/nap onto their profile

Introduction

Step 1 – Start on the ‘**Home**’ page

Step 2 – Select the child/children you are wanting to record the ‘Nap’ activity for. They will be highlighted in blue when selected. The total number of children selected is displayed.

Step 3 – From the activity tab, Select ‘**Nap**’

Step 4 – Set the Date and time. By default, this is set to the current time but you can backdate your work.

Author – This is automatically set to the active user. To change author, you must sign in as a different user OR Admin users have the ability to update the Author.
Step 5 – Set the ‘Nap Start Time’. You have two options available:

‘This nap has already ended’ – Log a nap that has already happened
Now – Children are asleep and you are logging the nap in real-time

Children who are actively asleep in the system will be visible on the Home page with a Zzz status icon on their profile picture, as shown here.

Step 6 – When the child wakes you will press on their image from the home screen, their box will turn blue and select the Nap option in New Activity and will show ‘**End Nap**’

To perform a quick wakeup, simply end nap directly from the homepage. Select the sleeping child, then re-select Nap

You can now see the status icon has disappeared from the child’s profile and they are no longer in ‘Nap’ mode.

Step 7 – Navigate to the ‘Feed’

Step 8 – When viewing a Nap activity, the child’s nap time will update in real-time in the system and inform staff of whether they are still asleep, or how long they slept for.
