See why hundreds of independent childminders are switching to KinderStart to professionalise their business and win back their evenings.
\"Other well-known apps felt overcomplicated, cluttered, and clearly designed more for nurseries. KinderStart is a game-changer. It's completely different—it's clearly built with childminders in mind. I wouldn't go back to anything else.\"
\"I can do things with just one hand and quickly! It's simple but has everything I need to be paperless. My time with the children isn't taken up, but nor is my time after work!\"
\"Everything is on my phone rather than having to get out my paperwork at the end of the day. You've got everything from attendance to tax and earnings. Absolutely love it!\"
\"The fact that you can do everything within one app was a massive selling point for me. For the functionality of the app, the cost is minimal in comparison to other apps and it does exactly what I need it to do!\"
\"It is simple to use, intuitive, and built by a thoughtful and responsive team. A great app designed by people who care. Every childminder should have this in their pocket!\"
\"My mum and I are new to setting up a childminding business and chose KinderStart as the layout is really easy to use and follow, and it supports you through the registration process. Confident from day one!\"
