Your booking system handles scheduling and invoicing. Nobody handles the compliance trail Ofsted expects: learning journals, two-year checks, medication records, safeguarding logs. ChildPad handles all of it.
Registered childminders in England. Every one must maintain EYFS learning records per child, conduct two-year checks, and evidence the seven areas of learning. Ofsted checks all of it.
Ofsted expects ongoing observation and assessment for every child. Paper learning journals fall behind. Photographs, notes, and next steps scattered across notebooks and phone galleries.
The integrated two-year progress check is a statutory requirement. Missing it or completing it late is a compliance failure Ofsted flags immediately.
