“Some children are at our nursery for 60 hours per week, and to be able to capture a child saying their first words and communicate this to their parents in real time via an app is brilliant. This means no key moments are missed and families are always in the loop with their child’s development.”
Bradley HutlerBlackberry House Day Nursery
“Parents put their own views and messages on their children’s profile. This means staff don’t have to write learning journals by hand. It's all digital and instant — the management time saved is immense.”
