Nursery management software

Give the moments that matter the time they deserve

Yenlio brings observations, attendance, parent communication, invoicing, funding, and EYFS records into one calm place — built in a real setting, for real settings, with children's data treated as the serious responsibility it is.

Available on iPhone, iPad and Android

The News screen in the Yenlio app: an observation about a child, tagged with EYFS areas, with a next step and parent reactions
Built where it's used

Yenlio is built and run inside a working childminding setting in Kent. Every feature has to earn its place in a real day before it ships — which is why it feels less like software and more like a calmer way of working.

What Yenlio gives you

01

Less admin, more children

The paperwork that used to fill your evenings starts itself from what you've already recorded during the day.

02

Inspection-ready, always

Learning journeys, progress checks, and safeguarding records stay current — so readiness is a state you're in, not a sprint you dread.

03

Trusted with children's data

UK GDPR, the Children's Code, and EYFS aren't add-ons here. They shaped how Yenlio was built, from the ground up.

Where Yenlio is different

The hard parts, done properly

Funding without the paperwork chase

The Funding Centre takes government funding from the parent's declaration all the way to your council's portal.

  • Parents sign declarations on their phone, then confirm each term
  • Your headcount in your council portal's own format and arithmetic
  • Children claimed over their limit across settings flagged
  • Parents reminded to reconfirm 30-hours codes before they lapse

Photo privacy that protects every child

Share the day's moments without ever sharing a child their family hasn't agreed to.

  • Consent purpose by purpose — the most careful answer always wins
  • Every photo and video checked for people before a post is shared
  • Face recognition only with a parent's explicit consent
  • Family downloads blur every other child in shot

Privacy checks and face recognition are switched on per setting

A roll call that works when it matters

Fire & emergency accounts for every child, member of staff and visitor — even when the network doesn't.

  • Practice drills, real emergencies and lockdowns
  • Works with no signal, even on a signed-out phone
  • See who hasn't taken part in a drill yet
  • Every roll call kept as a record for Ofsted

Every paid plan

The Yenlio app

Yenlio goes where the day happens

Record observations, mark the register, log meals and sleeps, and message parents from the room, the garden or the school run. The app is free to download and works with your Yenlio account — staff and parents each see their own side.

  • Capture observations and photos on the go — no writing up later
  • Attendance, meals, sleeps and nappies recorded as they happen
  • Parents get updates, invoices and messages on their own phone
  • The Register screen in the Yenlio app: today's attendance list with each child's sign-in time and Sign Out and Check In buttons
  • The Home screen in the Yenlio app: today's view with children present, awaiting and sick, room filters, and a card for each child showing their sign-in time
  • The Messages screen in the Yenlio app: conversations with parents about each child, filtered by topic such as absence, medication and collection

Real screens from the Yenlio app, shown with example children.
