| We make great use of the Home Observations feature on Ovivio. Parents can easily add in pictures and videos of what they've got up to during a holiday or over the weekend. It's another conversation point and helps to build strong partnerships. | helps to build strong partnerships | Claire Nichols | The Pheasant Nest | blue | https://ovivio.com/uk/blog/ofsted-exceptional-inclusion-nursery-example-case-study/ | The Pheasant Nest - Exceptional Inclusion | |
| The transition to Ovivio has been so easy, from the initial enquiry to onboarding, and now embedding fully into daily routines.
