How Connect Childcare Can Simplify Your Billing Processes
Managing your nursery billing should be easy.
Do you find at the end of the term you experience headaches regarding your headcount data?
As a nursery owner or manager, we know that you spend a lot of your time and resources calculating bills. This can be a complex process, with different payment types such as Tax Free Childcare, childcare vouchers, and government grant funding to contend with. As such, the billing process for a nursery manager can often take up to 6 hours to complete every month.
Over the span of a year this equates to 3 full days of admin work!
In this article we share how Connect Childcare can simplify your billing processes and reduce your admin time by up to 80%.
Bulk Allocation of Funding
One of the most difficult tasks when it comes to billing and invoicing is allocating grant funding to every child who is eligible. For Connect Childcare users, grant funding is automatically allocated to eligible children saving hours of time on tricky calculations and ensuring your invoices are always accurate. With the ability to invoice your entire site and calculate your entire monthly bill run in just a matter of minutes; it gives you more time with the children at your setting.
Improve Parent Relationships
As a nursery manager it is always important to maintain strong relationships with the parents at your setting. Are parents constantly asking you for how many hours they’ve had or how many hours they have left of funding?
Parents can become confused about their bills when there are different payment types and hours to consider, meaning administrators spend even more time explaining and justifying their bills, rather than reconciling payments.
This will ultimately cost administrators a lot of time, and it can also put a strain on parent relationships if tensions arise over monthly bills.
