The free nursery parent app that keeps families close and your team free to focus on the children
It’s hard to build a partnership when your communication is messy and disconnected. Included with your eyworks system, eyparent app helps you engage parents with real-time updates so you can build a collaborative setting.
Why your setting needs a nursery parent app
Working seamlessly alongside your other eyworks modules, eyparent gives you a better way to connect, communicate, and stay compliant.
Eliminate the morning rush
Text messages, paper diaries, and verbal handovers slow everyone down. eyparent gives your team contactless sign-ins, instant absence reporting, and a live register so they can focus on what they came to do.
Keep parents engaged
Parents want to feel connected to their child's day. Give them real-time updates, observations, and a direct line to your team, without the phone calls that pull practitioners away mid-session.
Stay Ofsted-ready, every day
Signed accident sheets, medicine authorisations, and development reports can't get lost in a filing cabinet. eyparent captures every digital signature and stores it securely, so you're always one step ahead of an inspection.
