The First Software Built for Childminding Assistants
Manage assistants, track sole charge sessions, and maintain Ofsted ratio compliance—all in one app. Secure permissions keep your business data safe while empowering your team.
Smart Permissions Keep Your Data Secure
Grant your assistants access to the tools they need while keeping sensitive business information private.
Daily Diary Access
Assistants can add meals, nappy changes, and notes to children's diaries—but only you can publish them to parents.
Incident & Accident Logging
Log incidents and accidents as they happen. You review and approve before parents are notified.
Medication Records
Track medication administration with photo evidence. All entries time-stamped and audit-ready.
Restricted Data Access
Assistants can only view data for children they're assigned to. Your financial and billing information stays private.
What Assistants Cannot See
Track Sole Charge Sessions Automatically
When your assistant works independently, KinderStart handles all the compliance tracking Ofsted requires—including ratios, hours, and session logs.
- Clock in/out for accurate hours tracking
- Visible to parents during sole charge hours
- Automatic Ofsted ratios compliance checks
- Digital sole charge session logs for inspections
Ofsted Compliance Built-In
Automatic alerts if your assistant exceeds Ofsted's 1:2 ratio for under-fives or 1:3 for over-fives.
Every sole charge session is logged with times, children present, and activities—ready for inspections.
Parents can see who's caring for their child at any given time, building trust and transparency.
