Nursery group creates app for parents

A Scottish nursery group has launched an app for parents after securing a six-figure sum from Clydesdale Bank.

Early Days Nurseries, which operates six settings in Edinburgh, launched the app to make it easier for parents to access information about their nursery and follow their child’s progress.

Through the app, parents whose children attend the group’s settings can find out about daily activities taking place, view upcoming events and food menus, access general information and pay their fees. They can also contact the nursery through the app and click through to the system the group uses for children’s learning journeys.

Nicole Pyper, Early Days Nurseries’ head of marketing and communications, said, ‘We recently re-designed our website with secure log-ins for parents, however feedback from families was that logging into the site was a laborious process. To make life easier for parents, we decided to transfer the content of the website to an app, which users can be permanently signed in to, following initial approval from the nursery group.
