Stepping Stones

The Solution

Connect Childcare’s nursery management software appealed to the management team at Stepping Stones because of its wide range of features and flexibility.

“Registers are now incredibly easy to manage using Connect Childcare,” said Angela. “We now have a daily register broken down into half hour slots so we always know exactly what occupancy levels we are at and can cope with varied shift patterns for staff and children. Management of the preschools is much improved because we can easily print off our daily sheets and everyone knows what is happening that day. The staff information facility is also being well utilised to keep track of staff training.” Checking invoices is also very quick and has ensured that we have cut down on making errors, improving communication with parents. “For us, the today screen is the most impressive function of the Connect Childcare software. It provides us with reminders, room movements, child and staff birthdays and pretty much any other information we choose to have on the screen. The occupancy widget is particularly helpful if a parent calls to extend hours for that day as the information is in front of you.”
