Welcome to Doodle! We're delighted to have you as part of the family πŸ˜„

Doodle covers the core areas of maths and English. Our apps create your child a unique work programme precisely tailored to their needs, helping to boost their confidence and ability. Doodle offers adaptive learning platforms that are designed to support children with feeling really confident with their learning. All of this is done without you having to set any work πŸŽ‰


How to log in to Doodle

The Doodle apps can be downloaded onto mobile or tablet devices or can be accessed via our web browser versions on a PC or laptop: DoodleMaths, DoodleTables, DoodleEnglish, DoodleSpell.

If your child's school has subscribed to DoodleMaths you also have access to DoodleTables. If they have subscribed to DoodleEnglish you also have access to DoodleSpell πŸŽ‰

On the login page you will be given the option to log in as:

  • Parent

  • Student

Please select Student and enter the username and password as provided by the school - if you're not sure what that is please don't create a new account for them, instead please ask the school directly for the username and password. As your school have purchased a subscription you do not need to create a new account or start a subscription.


How to link your parent account

Linking your parent email to your child's school account is really important (and really easy!) to do. By linking your parent email you will be able to monitor your child's progress on the free DoodleConnect app or on the Parent Dashboard. To this follow these steps:

  1. Ask your child to open up their Doodle app and login with the username and password as provided by their school - if you're not sure what these are, please contact the school directly rather than creating a new account for them.

  2. From the Learning Zone click on the menu in the top left hand corner

  3. Select Settings from the menu

  4. Select Parent details along the top

  5. Please complete the parental security gate by entering the numbers shown

  6. If you're new to Doodle please click on Create parent account. If you already have a Doodle account (perhaps because you already have another child using Doodle, or have used Doodle in the past), click on Link existing account

  7. Then follow the steps by inputting your details to link your parent email to your child's account

More information (including a step by step video!) on how to do this can be found here!


How to access the Parent Dashboard & DoodleConnect

πŸ’» The Parent Dashboard is your online hub that allows you to track your child's Doodling and the progress they are making. You can login to the Parent Dashboard via this link (https://parents.doodlelearning.com/login) using the parent account details you created above. We recommend logging in once a week to view how your child is getting on with Doodle. Click on the green 'How-to' button on each page of the Parent Dashboard to find out more about how to use each page.

πŸ“±We highly recommend that you download the free DoodleConnect app via your app store. Simply download and log in with your parent account details and keep up to date with your child's Doodling on the go! This is fantastic for a quick daily check to make sure your child is Doodling and staying in their green zone.
