Registers, rotas, parent messages, photos and fees, for the office, the room iPad and every parent’s phone.
The paper register, the fee spreadsheet, the parents’ group chat, the photo folder and the rota on the wall. Kinderlee brings them into one place, with one record for each child.
Attendance and pickup
Attendance is recorded on the room iPad, and the register fills itself. At pickup, the iPad shows who may collect each child, and no one else.
The parent app
Meals, naps, notes and photos from the day, and messages in each parent’s own language. Each parent has their own login, and photos appear only with their consent.
The office
Who’s in, what’s owed and whether every room is in ratio. When a room falls short, the screen shows it at once.
The assistant
It answers from the nursery’s own documents and shows where each answer came from. It drafts messages and reports, and a person checks every field before anything is sent.
Offline
Everything recorded on the room iPad is saved on the iPad first, and sent with its original time when the connection returns.
Learning record
Lesson plans, staff-written observations and each child’s portfolio stay together. A colleague checks the progress report against the observations before the head signs it.
Kitchen and allergies
Menus are set for each age group. The allergies recorded for children eating today show on the dish, and the cook confirms an alternative.
Incidents
Staff record an incident on the room iPad. The parent gets a notification, opens the report and taps “I have read this”. Opening and acknowledging are recorded separately.
Payments
Parents pay by direct debit or card, in the app. The money lands in the nursery’s own account. Kinderlee never holds it.
How payments workOne fee, three payers. Each pays their own part and gets their own bill.
Example figures
Enquiries
An enquiry becomes a waiting-list place, then an enrolment, with one record throughout.
Leave and documents
Leave requests and document expiry, with status and dates recorded.
Holiday programmes
Parents book in the app. Each booking adds one invoice line; a cancellation produces a credit note.
Maintenance
Room supply requests and maintenance tickets stay inside the nursery, with a history of each status change.
Involvement
Parents sign up for activities in their own child’s nursery and room.
Calendar and letters
A resource library, school-year calendar and theme letters home.
Delegation
One person can hold two roles and hand an approval to a named colleague, with an end date and the option to revoke it.
The moments that shape a childhood are often the ones nobody thinks to record: a brave first hello, paint-stained hands, the day a quiet child joins the game.

Each nursery’s records are sealed off from every other, and a test proves it on every change.
Encrypted for each child and shown only with a parent’s consent.
No child ever uses Kinderlee, and no child’s photo is used to sell it.
Built for the Netherlands first. Germany, Spain and France next.
Read about securityThe film has music and no voice. It opens on a director’s list for the day, from the morning register to preparing for an inspection. The morning dashboard follows, then an enquiry that becomes a place on the waiting list and then an enrolment, and one message sent to every family, translated for each. A teacher writes an observation, it is filed to the child’s portfolio, and the progress report is checked by a colleague and signed. Invoices go out and direct debits come in. The compliance checklist runs, with staff documents and their expiry dates. The assistant drafts one message, and a member of staff confirms each field against its source before Send is available. Records become the nursery’s own knowledge, and every answer shows where it came from. The kitchen sees the allergies recorded for the children eating today, and the cook confirms an alternative. An incident is recorded on the room iPad, and the parent opens it and confirms they have read it. Holiday programmes, maintenance, staff leave and parent sign-ups follow, and a new member of staff has everything ready on their first day. It ends on the Kinderlee logo.
Owners and directors of nurseries: a single setting, a group with several sites, or a municipal or church-run operator.
No. The nursery is the merchant of record with Stripe, our payment provider, and every payment goes to the nursery’s own account.
With OVHcloud, in the European Economic Area. Children’s data does not leave the EU, and the assistant runs in an EU region.
No. It records the whole day without a signal and sends each entry once, with its original time, when the connection returns.
Yes. Each parent with custody has their own account and their own rights, and a court order limits what a restricted parent sees.
No. It drafts, and a person confirms every field before anything is saved or sent. It never guesses a child’s mood or feelings.
The office works in any web browser. The room tablet is an iPad. Parents use the iPhone app, or the parent web app on any other phone, Android included.
Yes. Your records are imported, so nobody retypes a child’s file, and the founder sets up each new nursery personally.
No. There is no screen for children, by design.
Learning records bring lesson plans, staff observations, portfolios and checked reports together. The kitchen has menus, recorded allergy flags and alternatives confirmed by the cook. Incidents go from the room iPad to the parent, with opening and acknowledgement recorded separately. Enrolment, staff leave, holiday programmes, supplies, sign-ups and the school-year calendar cover the rest of the day.
