Making life easier for nursery and pre-school parents to communicate with their nursery. Parents can send notifications directly to the nursery requesting any booking pattern changes, extra sessions, changes to emergency contact details, new allergy requirements, etc. The Nursery can also send notifications to parents keeping them up to date with emergency closures, newsletters, etc. This app allows parents to keep their childrenβs registration form details up-to-date including collection passwords, emergency contacts, permissions, consents and much more. We also allow parents to view all their invoices to date and see all payments made to their childrenβs account. This also reduces any confusion of how much is outstanding on their account. Booking patterns clearly displayed for all current and future sessions enabling the parent to see exactly when their children are scheduled to be attending the nursery. Funding (HMRC) eligibility codes can be kept up to date to ensure the parents donβt miss out on any funding claims. This app is designed to give parents access to parent admin on the go on any device, anytime, anywhere.
