They provide similar information I have found on government/official educational sites so I think they probably do a lot of research. As a parent I think its a great site, and have found the information they provide invaluable. It records everything the children do and is a good way of understanding and learning about the childrens' knowledge and skills. I have been able to target specific areas where they need extra support, information that whilst the schools have, dont provide to the parents.
