Childcare management software: enrolments, ratios and NQF compliance

Early learning is heavily regulated. Here is what childcare management software should do to keep enrolments, ratios and compliance under control.

Childcare management software has to handle the daily reality of early learning — sign in and out, medication, ratios — while keeping you compliant with the National Quality Framework.

What centres need

  • Enrolments and family records.
  • Daily sign in/out for children.
  • Medication administration records.
  • Educator-to-child ratio checks.
  • Child incident reports and staff competencies.

Why one platform

A centre is also an employer with rosters, training and compliance. When ratios, incidents, staff and food safety sit on one platform, the service runs as one system and NQF evidence is always at hand.
