The detail behind the £39

Everything NurseryGuard carries: laid out.

One place that does four jobs: the staff file, the statutory diary, the room-ratio check, and the policy pack your team actually signs.

What we take off your plate

The four things that trip settings up.

You're not buying compliance management: you're buying the ability to show you're safe on the day someone asks, because by then the evidence has to already exist.

The memory tax

Renewals a human brain was carrying

Paediatric first aid every three years. Safeguarding training every two. A reference before day one. A DBS recorded once, in the right place. It only takes one to slip out of a spreadsheet nobody remembered to open.

What we do

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.

Ratio anxiety

"Were we in ratio at 10:40?"

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.

What we do

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 inspection scramble

The staff file, pulled together at 11pm

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.

What we do

One consistent, dated story exported in a press: staff suitability records, DBS and first-aid cover, signed policies, the statutory diary, already there.

Policy theatre

A folder no one read or signed

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.

What we do

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.

The room-ratio check, in detail

One day, every room, one clear picture.

A room lead or manager stands in the room, taps the counts against the register, and gets a plain, timestamped answer in about 15 seconds. No integration required: the maths runs against EYFS ratio rules server-side.

These are snapshots at the moment of each check, not continuous monitoring between checks. A shortfall is recorded honestly, with the fix that was made: never hidden, never reconstructed afterwards. How EYFS ratios are calculated →

Also on the phone, in the room

The same check, room by room, on the phone that's already in your pocket.

Tick a room, tap the counts, get a plain answer, saved with a timestamp. No integration needed.

What's included

Everything in the £39.

The honest list of what's live today.

Statutory diary with photo evidence

Accident, medication, complaints, fire drills, safeguarding concerns, visitor records and more: exportable in one click as an inspection pack.

Room Check + the day picture

Timestamped ratio evidence per room, per day, from a 15-second manual check against your register. No integration required.

Per-hire safer-recruitment record (EYFS 3.18)

References-before-recruitment, identity, qualifications, DBS and right-to-work checks recorded in the order inspectors ask for first.

Renewal chasing

Safeguarding training (2-yearly), paediatric first aid (3-yearly), DSL training and the annual ICO fee, prompted before they lapse.

Ready-to-adopt policy pack with e-sign

A source-grounded EYFS policy set, covering safeguarding, whistleblowing, attendance, mobile-phone and more, ready for your DSL and staff to sign, with an audit trail.

Staff training courses

Safeguarding, induction, allergy and medication awareness modules with certificates and team progress: each checks what staff know and teaches only the gaps.

Multi-site view for small groups

One picture across every setting you run, with each staff member's evidence attributable to the site they work in.

Menu → allergen matrix

Upload your menu and AI drafts the 14-allergen matrix dish by dish, from a library of 750+ ratified UK dishes. Your cook confirms every row: nothing is auto-certified.

Straight about the edges: paediatric first aid stays face-to-face with your chosen provider. We track the certificate and daily cover, we don't deliver the course. A DBS has no official expiry date; re-check prompts follow the policy you set, never an invented deadline. NurseryGuard supports and evidences your EYFS compliance; it does not replace the provider's legal responsibility.

The moments this is for

You'll know the moment when it comes.

A new starter begins Monday

Add them tonight and name the referee; the requests go out in the EYFS 3.20 order and are chased for you.

A parent asks about Tuesday, 10:40

The room check from that morning answers in one line, timestamped, written at the time, not remembered afterwards.

The inspector is in the building

The staff file, the signed policies, the diary, exported in a press, because the evidence already exists.

A child with allergies joins

Your menu becomes a confirmed, dated 14-allergen matrix your cook signed off: download the PDF, hand it over.

"Have you all done safeguarding training?"

Send the course to your team by text; take yours on your phone tonight. Records and certificates, kept.

Evidence you can hold

What you'd hand the inspector: see it now.

Four specimen documents, exactly as NurseryGuard produces them. Sample data, watermarked. Every one is the real output, not a mock-up.

Works with your nursery app

Use Famly. Use us. Use whatever works.

Famly runs your day: registers, parents, billing, and it's good at it. But it was never built to be your compliance evidence: the DBS recorded in the right place, training and first-aid renewal dates, references obtained in the right order, a timestamped ratio record. That's what NurseryGuard holds, alongside your nursery app, never instead of it. The Famly connection is built; we switch it on setting by setting with our founding customers.
