Follow your child's day meal by meal, nap by nap — see exactly what the Daily Diary shows you as a parent.
The Daily Diary is your childminder's real-time log of your child's day — meals, naps, and activities, recorded as they happen rather than reconstructed from memory at pickup.
Scroll through the day to see each entry as it was logged:
Entries appear in chronological order, so scrolling down takes you through the day exactly as it unfolded.
Use the date picker at the top of the screen to step back through past diary entries — useful if you want to check something from earlier in the week.
Because the diary is filled in live rather than at the end of the day, it's a more accurate account than a verbal handover — and it's one both you and your childminder can refer back to if a question comes up about eating, sleep, or timing.
A complete diary isn't just useful for you — it's your childminder's audit trail for Ofsted, and a record they can lean on for allergy, routine, or safeguarding questions. Checking in on it regularly helps you spot patterns early, like a change in appetite or sleep.
