emasi8624 Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Hi there, I am an owner and manager of a 30 place nursery. I have been toying with purchasing some nursery software for a while now and have decided it would be very beneficial and time saving for me. I was wondering if you had any recommendations of which one is best? Thank you Quote
SueFinanceManager Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Hi Can I just ask, do you mean nursery management software for doing invoices etc or software for doing observations/progress recording? If it is the latter then you might be interested in our Online Learning Journal system called Tapestry, to find out more see here and here Quote

SueFinanceManager Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Hi there, Sorry I meant management software, I already have the wonderful Tapestry. Ahh thanks....that's a nice thing to say Well as I don't know anything about management software and we don't make one I will leave it to all the the other clever people to reply. Sue Quote
Guest Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Interested in replies, as my administrator has expressed an interest in moving over to computer software system Quote
Greenfinch Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 I am interested too. It takes me ages doing my admin but with limited budget I've just accepted it's better and more affordable probably doing it myself but I would LOVE to be spared some time if any lovely people know of a good system that works for a small setting (don't need anything flash linking chains of settings together etc...)

SueFinanceManager Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Hi Just noticed a similar discussion here A few recommendations made in it Sue Quote
Guest Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 I use parenta, expensive to start with but is defintely helping I'm still struggling getting my head round the invoicing on it - but they are also extremely helpful :-) Quote
woodlands1997 Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 It's not specific to nursery but we use quick books for accounts, invoicing etc, it's really easy! We looked at parenta but wasn't worth it for us as we are just a one off private nursery with 25 places! Quote
Guest Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 we use First Steps for day nursery and KINDERSOFT for pre school Quote
vicrdnursery Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 At the moment we are using first steps; but we are swapping over to Redfish. We have used first steps for over 10 years now bit are changing to redfish - redfish is designed by people who are linked to nurseries. You do not have to pay anything for the outlay of the software - there is a monthly charge but this depends on how many children are on the register. Speak to Nick at info@redfishuk.com Quote
