Your nursery management system handles registers and invoicing. Nobody handles the compliance documentation Ofsted actually checks. EYFS observations, safeguarding logs, ratio monitoring, two-year checks, staff qualifications. NurseryPad handles all of it.
Nurseries and pre-schools in England. Most manage EYFS compliance with a mix of notebooks, sticky notes, and spreadsheets.
New Ofsted grading framework from November 2025. Your existing self-evaluation is out of date. You need a new one mapped to the new judgement areas.
Per week spent on funding admin alone. Before you count observations, safeguarding, two-year checks, and staff qualification tracking.
