Everything your setting runs on, in one calm place

Sign children in and out, record absence and sickness, and correct a time with a full audit trail. A child's allergy and dietary warning appears the moment they arrive.

One answer to who should be here today, with day swaps, extra sessions and closures already applied — on the register and the home screen.

Nappies, meals, bottles, sleep, creams and temperatures recorded as they happen, for one child or a whole group at once.

Built in and on by default. A live countdown shows staff exactly when each sleeping child is due a check; every check is recorded with the child's position and the room temperature; and parents can see the record any time. Made to help you meet the EYFS September 2026 safer-sleep requirements.

Signed parent consent, witnessed doses on a medication record, an alert when a dose is due and a guard against giving an as-needed dose too soon. Staff always give and record the dose; parents see a calm, clear history.

Families ask to swap a day or book an extra session from the app. You approve it, and the register and the invoice follow.

Switch it on and, if a child is still signed in after closing, the staff on site and your managers are told.

Visitors signed in and out with a signature — the record an inspector asks to see.

Each family sees their own child's day: a factual summary of the day, the diary, photos, what's coming up and anything waiting for them to do.

Messages to one family, a room or the whole setting, with read receipts. Mark a message important and it is emailed too; with the SMS add-on, urgent messages can also go by text.

A private thread between a family and your management team that other staff can't see.

Share events with everyone, a room or particular children, collect RSVPs and send a reminder the day before.

Messages translated into a family's home language, powered by DeepL — from Polish and Urdu to Somali and Ukrainian — so no parent is left guessing.

A warm end-of-day note for each child drawn from the day's records, ready for you to check and send.

Send a well-formatted email to every family, a room or an age group — from your own domain if you like.

Push notifications each person controls, with quiet hours that keep the evening free.

Invoices built from each child's contract — sessions, meals, holding fees, extras and sibling discounts — with funded hours deducted first. Correct or replace an invoice with a full audit trail.

Parents set up a secure GoCardless mandate. Collections wait for the parent's review window, pause if a parent queries an invoice, and reconcile themselves. GoCardless transaction fees apply.

Send invoices to QuickBooks Online, or export them as CSV, so your books stay in step.

Childcare contracts from your own templates, signed by you and the parent in the app, versioned and kept exactly as agreed.

Your bank details, payment reference, Tax-Free Childcare and accepted childcare vouchers shown to every family in one place.

Explains an invoice or a balance in plain English, for you or for a parent.

See where you stand across Ofsted's September 2026 evaluation areas, with an evidence library and your documents kept current all year.

Give an inspector time-limited, read-only access to your live readiness view — and every view is recorded.

Pull together the evidence an inspector asks for in minutes, not evenings.

Yenlio watches GOV.UK, the Department for Education and Ofsted for changes that affect early years settings, explains what changed and keeps a record of when you acknowledged it.

Peak numbers by Ofsted age band, worked out from real sign-in and sign-out times — the figures you need for your registration.

Score your readiness, review a policy against current guidance, draft a missing one, and rehearse with a mock inspection interview.

Plan and publish weekly menus to families, with allergens shown against every dish and each child's dietary needs a tap away.

Record what was planned and what each child actually ate, item by item.

Your caterer sends menus through a secure link — no account needed — and every change waits for your approval.

Import a caterer's menu pack and Yenlio lays it out week by week, ready for you to review before anything is published.

Polish an observation, a message or a report in your own voice.

Fresh activity ideas for the day, shaped around the children in front of you.

A first draft of a SEND support plan for your SENCO to refine.

Suggested EYFS links for an observation, and a nudge on how urgent a message is and how it should reach a family.
