MinderHQ: Childminder App

MinderHQ

About this app

Home time should mean home time.

You've had other people's children since half seven — the paperwork shouldn't keep you at the kitchen table till nine. MinderHQ logs the diary, register, accidents and invoices in taps as the day happens, so when the last child is collected, you're done too.

Built with UK childminders, for how the day actually runs.

THE DAY, LOGGED AS IT HAPPENS
• Daily diary with photos and videos — meals, sleeps, nappies, moments
• Attendance register with check-in/out times, kept inspection-ready
• Accident, incident and medication records with parent signatures
• Consent-aware photo sharing — who can appear in what is enforced, not just noted

PARENTS IN THE LOOP, NOT IN YOUR EVENINGS
• Parents get a private, invitation-only timeline of their child's day — free
• Two-way messaging with photos and video, reactions and seen receipts
• Milestones and a Friday "week in pictures" digest
• Home moments — parents can share back (weekend news, mornings, firsts)

MONEY, SORTED
• Invoices in taps, including funded hours (free childcare entitlements)
• Payment tracking, reminders, and a clear monthly picture

INSPECTION-READY, ALWAYS
• EYFS observations and learning journal
• Progress checks, baseline assessments and an inspection pack
• Registers, accident records and consents — organised, exportable, never lost
• Works across all four UK nations — England (Ofsted), Scotland (Care Inspectorate), Wales (CIW) and Northern Ireland, with the right paperwork for each

YOUR OWN WEBSITE, DONE FOR YOU
• A professional public website for your setting, with enquiries straight to the app
• Your own web address included

BUILT FOR TRUST
• UK data hosting; children's photos kept in private storage with time-limited links
• Location data is stripped from photos automatically
• Full export of everything, any time — your records are yours
• No ads, no tracking, ever
• Google Play's Data safety section lists exactly what the app collects and why

PARENTS: your childminder invites you — the parent side is free. Download, tap your invitation link, and your child's day is in your pocket.

CHILDMINDERS: your first month is free, then it's a simple monthly subscription — cancel anytime, no per-child charges, no lock-in. Try the app instantly with the built-in demo — no sign-up needed.
