We know this feeling
You're the carer, the bookkeeper, the inspector-ready practitioner, and the invoice chaser. And you're doing it all between nap times.
“Sending invoice reminders at 9pm because it's the only quiet moment in your day.”
“Working out whether a term-time child is billable this week — manually, every time.”
“Scrambling to find observation notes the morning a CIW or Ofsted inspector calls.”
“Not knowing if this month's income actually covered your expenses — and whether you're Making Tax Digital compliant.”
NurtureBooks includes MTD-ready export, SA103-aligned expenses, and a rolling income chart — no separate accounting software needed.
What changes
NurtureBooks calculates invoices directly from your care agreements. It handles term-time and school-holiday contracts automatically, tracks every payment, flags overdue balances, and shows your outstanding total on the dashboard the moment you log in.
Clear, professional invoices with funded hours deducted, payment history shown, and any notes you've added — sent directly to parents and visible in their portal the moment you hit Send. No chasing. No confusion about what's included.
Every ECPLC and EYFS observation is logged as you go. Curriculum coverage, DBS records, staff qualifications, and compliance notes are all in one place — ready to show an inspector at a moment's notice. The radar chart shows coverage gaps before they do.
Parents get their own portal — separate from your admin — where they can see the daily diary, photos, care logs, and invoices. The portal is available in English and Welsh. You control what they see and when.
The dashboard gives you a rolling 12-month income and expenses chart, outstanding payment alerts, and attendance at a glance. No spreadsheet. No guesswork. Your MTD export is always one click away.

Little Rainbows Childminding, Wales
Registered childminder · NurtureBooks user
I was managing invoices on paper and chasing payments by text. Now I can see everything I'm owed, send an invoice in two minutes, and parents can see it in their portal straight away. The dashboard tells me at a glance where I stand financially. This has saved me so much time each month.
Built for Wales
Registered childminders in Wales work to different standards — CIW registration, the ECPLC curriculum framework, Flying Start and Childcare Offer Wales funding, and a regulatory landscape distinct from Ofsted. NurtureBooks was designed with Welsh childminders at its core — not adapted for Wales as an afterthought.
