How it works

In detail

What happens

  1. After a show-round, or from your waiting list, you offer the place in one click. The family gets a secure link on their phone.

  2. Parents fill in everything online: their child's details, health and allergies, consents and collection passwords. No typing up paper forms, no missing pages.

  3. The contract and fees are e-signed by every parent with parental responsibility. Anyone who hasn't signed is chased for you.

  4. Funded hours codes are checked, with reminders before they need reconfirming. The welcome pack goes out, settling-in sessions are booked, and the room and ratios are updated.

The benefit to your nursery

What you get

No paper forms

Nothing to type up, nothing to file, nothing lost.

Every signature collected

Unsigned contracts are chased until they are done.

Funding dates never missed

Reminders before funding codes need reconfirming.

A lovely first impression

Families feel organised and welcome from the start.

You stay in control

What you still decide

The system does the running around. The decisions that matter stay with you.

  • Who to offer a place to, and when.
  • Settling-in arrangements that suit the child.
Questions

Good to know

Do parents need to download an app?

They get a secure link on their phone and fill everything in there.

What if both parents need to sign?

The contract goes to every parent with parental responsibility, and each is chased until signed.

Does it help with funded hours?

Funded hours codes are checked, with reminders before they need reconfirming.
