A daily diary you can fill in with one hand
Log meals, naps and nappies as they happen. Parents see their child's day on their phone the moment you publish.
Quick Summary: Digital Daily Diaries
Digital daily diaries allow childminders to log child events in real-time, sharing summaries instantly to parents' phones. Going paperless eliminates time spent on handwritten pickup logs and secures records in compliance with safeguarding retention rules:
- One-Thumb Logging: Record naps, meals, and toileting checks in seconds on your mobile.
- Parent Sharing: Instantly broadcast daily activity summaries and photos directly to parents' phones.
- EYFS Tagging: Link observations to statutory EYFS development areas with single-tap tagging.
- Safeguarding Records: Archive signed accident logs securely in the cloud to satisfy the 21-year retention mandate.
Log it once. Parents see it straight away.
Each entry is one tap. When you publish, the parent gets the whole day on their phone, and can reply to you there.
