Your Activity Feed: Daily Updates from Your Childminder

Video Walkthrough

The Activity Feed is the first thing you'll see when you open the KinderStart Parent App — a running timeline of what's happening with your child, updated as your childminder logs it through the day.

📱 What Shows Up Here

Your feed pulls together everything your childminder records for your child in one place:

  • Daily Diary moments — meals, naps, and nappy changes, logged as they happen
  • Learning Journey observations — photos and notes tied to what your child is learning
  • Noticeboard posts — setting-wide announcements from your childminder
  • Consent & document requests — anything waiting for your signature

Each card shows a timestamp, so you always know how recent an update is — useful if you're checking in from work or between meetings.

👆 Getting More Detail

Tap any card to open it in full. A meal card expands to show exactly what was offered and eaten; an observation card opens into the full photo and note, linked to the EYFS area it covers. Pull down on the feed to refresh and check for anything new.

💡Multiple children?

If you have more than one child with the same childminder, use the child switcher at the top of the feed to move between their individual timelines.

🔔 Staying Notified

You don't need to keep the app open to stay in the loop — push notifications let you know when a new update lands, so the feed is there to catch up on your own time rather than something to watch constantly.

Why it matters

The Activity Feed replaces the end-of-day handover chat with a running record you can look back on any time — reassurance during the day, and a proper account of your child's day when you pick them up.
