Scanning QR codes as children arrive at childcare

After-school club, no more counting hours.

Children are scanned in and out, and each period's invoice works itself out. No spreadsheet to rebuild.

  • Paper sign-in sheets

    Typed up at the end of every month.

  • Sums done by hand

    Time bands and rates in a spreadsheet.

  • Invoicing one by one

    Hours of work, every single period.

  • Year-end certificate rush

    Pieced together session by session.

Day to day

Less admin. More time.

Attendance, amounts and certificates take care of themselves, so your team can look after children instead of spreadsheets.

How it works

From scan to invoice.

Every session follows the same route, from the moment a child arrives to the invoice the family pays.

At drop-off and pick-up, staff scan the child's card in the staff app.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions we hear most. Can't find yours? Get in touch

How is attendance recorded?

Each child has a card with a QR code, scanned at drop-off and pick-up in the staff app on a phone or tablet. The time and length of stay are logged automatically. For small groups, you can still tick names off a list.

Can we charge by time band?

Yes. Set your time bands, flat fees and exceptions, and they're applied automatically to every session.

Do invoices go out automatically?

Yes. At the end of each period, whether weekly, monthly or termly, every family gets a single invoice (you can check it first if you like) and pays online.

Are tax certificates included?

Yes. Certificates are generated from paid sessions and released to families whenever you choose.

Can each school have its own rates?

Yes. Each school or site has its own hours, time bands and rates. Your reports can then show every site together, or one at a time.

Can we scan with a phone?

Yes. Scanning works in the staff app, on a phone or on a tablet left by the door. Any missed scans can be fixed before invoices go out.

Who uses childcare billing?

Anyone who looks after children before or after their activities: breakfast and after-school clubs, after-school activities, holiday camps, workshops and many more.
