There are dozens of nursery platforms and most look the same on a website. We learn how your setting runs, then put two or three genuinely suitable options in front of you — with demos arranged and migration questions answered.
Get a shortlistMost platforms bundle the same core jobs. These are the features to compare when you weigh one nursery management system against another.
Digital sign-in, ratio alerts and live room registers that replace the paper clipboard by the door.
Observations, next steps and progress reports mapped to the framework, ready for Ofsted at any time.
Daily diaries, photos, permissions and messaging in an app parents actually open.
Invoices, direct debits, funded hours and automated fee chasing, so income lands without the chase.
Rota planning against ratios, holiday and training records, and payroll-ready hours each period.
Occupancy forecasts, waiting lists and margin reporting per room so you can plan places confidently.
A platform built for a 30-place single setting rarely suits a four-site group. We match the tool to your structure, not the other way round.
Adoption is everything. We weigh app quality and the day-to-day effort it puts on your practitioners.
Per-child pricing, setup fees, payment processing charges and add-on modules all get put on one comparison sheet.
We ask the awkward questions early: what data moves, what gets retyped, and how long your team runs two systems.
UK data hosting, permission levels, audit trails and retention policies that stand up to inspection.
Onboarding, training for new starters, and a support line that answers during nursery hours.
Rooms, headcount, funding mix, what you use today and what frustrates you about it.
Not a list of twenty. Only platforms that genuinely fit, with the trade-offs spelled out plainly.
We arrange demos, sanity-check the quotes and stay with you through migration and go-live.
Prefer to browse first? Every provider we work with is listed in the supplier directory.
No. iNursery is free for UK day nurseries — we are paid by the providers when a setting chooses to go ahead, which never changes the price you are quoted.
No. We shortlist on fit and tell you when the platform you already have is the right one to keep.
Most single settings move over in four to six weeks, including data migration, staff training and a short period running both systems in parallel.
Yes. Multi-site groups usually need group-level reporting, shared staff records and consolidated billing — we factor that into the shortlist.
