DBS, safeguarding training, first aid and references: one record per person, chased before anything lapses.
Accidents, medication, safeguarding concerns and fire drills: timestamped and exportable in one click.
Upload your menu and we draft the 14-allergen grid dish by dish. We never guess the allergens; your cook confirms every row against the actual recipes.
The DBS nobody remembered is the one the inspector finds.
Of the inspections between November 2025 and March 2026 that led to formal actions, 540 (71%) related to safeguarding and welfare requirements: record failures, not teaching failures. Ofsted, 2026 →
No import, no spreadsheet. One member, one date, and it is already working.
Add one staff member and one real date. It shows the next 90 days and starts the chase.
Product illustration with sample data. DBS checks carry no official expiry, so they are recorded, not counted down. See the full feature list →
Paediatric first aid every three years, safeguarding every two, a reference before day one. It only takes one to slip out of a spreadsheet nobody remembered to open.
Every certificate and check on one record per staff member, chased before it lapses, the prompt goes to the right person, not to a spreadsheet waiting to be opened.
A parent asks about a moment on Tuesday morning. Today, no record exists either way, so you're defending a moment you can't reconstruct.
A 15-second Room Check gives a timestamped answer per room, per day: met the ratio calculation, or short by one with the fix, written down at the time.
The staff file, the checks, the signed policies, the diary, assembled in a panic the night before, or the morning an inspector is already asking for it.
One consistent, dated story exported in a press: staff suitability records, DBS and first-aid cover, signed policies, the statutory diary, already there.
A drawer of policies nobody has read, nobody has signed, and nobody is quite sure is current. It's paper compliance that falls apart the moment it's tested.
A grounded policy pack, ready to adopt on day one, that your DSL and staff actually e-sign, with an audit trail of who signed what, and when.
Add them tonight and name the referee; the requests go out in the EYFS 3.20 order and are chased for you.
The room check from that morning answers in one line, timestamped, written at the time, not remembered afterwards.
The staff file, the signed policies, the diary, exported in a press, because the evidence already exists.
Your menu becomes a confirmed, dated 14-allergen matrix your cook signed off: download the PDF, hand it over.
Send the course to your team by text; take yours on your phone tonight. Records and certificates, kept.
Works alongside Famly, Blossom, Tapestry and the rest: we don't replace your nursery app, we hold the compliance evidence it was never built to keep.
“Placeholder: one sentence from a founding setting about the day the inspector asked for the staff file.”
Free for 30 days, no card. £39/month after, about an hour of agency cover.
No consultant, no binder, no setup call. NurseryGuard does one job: it keeps the staff file live and chases dates before they lapse. That's a solved technical problem that costs little to run, so you pay what the job costs and keep the rest.

Every day I see good businesses buried under rules that keep multiplying, when all they want to do is serve their customers. Most of those rules are fair. The cost of meeting them isn't. Somewhere between the regulator and a small setting sits an industry charging what the market will bear for what a solved problem actually costs to run.
So I built tools that do one job each, at the price the job costs, with no contract. You keep the rest. Let's go and do good work.
