You’ll even receive photos and videos of your little one, so you can be sure they’re happy.

The app also features two-way communication between you and your child’s nursery, enabling a variety of functions:

Ratings and reviews

The UI isn't great, not very intuitive, and feels all over the place. Our previous nursery's app looked a bit dated but nailed reporting, private child photos, meal and nappy tracking, medical forms, and app notifications. This current app is so poor it almost puts us off checking our own child's progress and well-being.

Quite good once on the app although layout is not very intuitive. Big issue with lack of push notifications in spite of ensuring they're all turned on which entirely defeats the object for me as I forget to check and miss updates. Clearly I'm not the only one with this problem judging by the other reviews so it's a shame the developers haven't bothered to sort it out given it was mentioned over a year ago. Also would be good to download the photos as our old nursery app was able to do.

The app is fine but it is not allowing push notifications to my android phone, even though I have enabled them in the app settings and checked they are enabled in the general settings on my phone. I'm instead having to rely on email email notifications and manually logging into the app. My partner is not having these issues with the iPhone version of the app.
