Guest Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Hello Everyone I purchased a nursery management system 10 years ago for our pre-school setting. Now we have become a full daycare nursery I really need something better. However I want to make sure my investment is worthwhile. So was wondering what others use and how they find different systems. The biggest issue I have is invoicing. With then new 15 hours flexible funding I am having to manually work out the funding for each funded child, a nightmare and open to human error. I am really looking for something that can manage the majority of the paperwork of a nursery in one system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_1027 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 have you looked at the babydays system - if you google it - should come up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I use parenta and just enter the number of NEF hours per week the child is accessing and it works out the invoices for me plus i have a 24/7 help line if i have any problems. Also does things like staff hours, milk refunds, holidays, registers, bookings and availability etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_11653 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Hi Max321 Hope this isn't to cheeky a question but how much is the parenta system, I have been on the website but it doesn't mention if it is a monthly payment or a one off payment. Thanks Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Hello and thanks for those replies. Am going to look at Parenta and Babydays. Think I need to go online and really research what each one is like in detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_2418 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I have First Steps to - used it in my previous seting then moved and had a different system - useless, changed to another that was recommended - a bit better but still not good so went back to First Steps, it's not the cheapest but by far the easiest to use and train others to use too.

AnonyMouse_705 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 We use Superfox. A couple of years ago our authority gave the software to every setting and I beleive other authorities have done something similar. It works well for us. Do a search for a recent discussion about nursery management software I think it was started by Cait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
