Looking for a Cheqdin alternative?

Cheqdin is strong on bookings, registrations and payments. If you want EYFS observations, live staffing ratios and a full compliance suite alongside, Taylormade Care covers more of the early-years side.

Cheqdin is known for bookings, online registration and payment collection. Taylormade Care leans into the early-years side — observations, EYFS tracking, live ratios and compliance — with invoicing and a parent app, all at one flat price.

Why settings choose Taylormade Care

Bookings, sessions and fast registers

Set up sessions, manage who's booked in, and take a fast daily register you can rely on for safeguarding.

EYFS observations and learning journal

Photo observations tagged to the EYFS areas, milestone and 2-year-check tracking, and a PDF learning journal.

Staff rota, live ratios and the SCR

Build the rota, check EYFS ratios and qualification mix live, and keep a proper Single Central Record.

A full compliance suite

Accident, incident and medication logs, policies, risk assessments and fire drills — date-stamped and inspection-ready.

One flat price, no per-child fees

£9.50 or £29 a month for the whole setting, however many children attend.

Cheqdin is a good fit if online registration and integrated card or Direct-Debit payment collection are your top priority — that payment-collection piece is on our roadmap rather than live today. For everything else around running an early-years setting, Taylormade Care brings it together.

Common questions

Does Taylormade Care collect parent payments like Cheqdin?

Not yet — you can send invoices, record funded hours and add a Tax-Free Childcare reference, but in-app card and Direct-Debit collection is on our roadmap rather than live today. If that's essential right now, it's worth weighing up.

What does it do that Cheqdin doesn't focus on?

The early-years side: EYFS observations and learning journals, live staffing ratios with qualification-mix checks, the Single Central Record, and a full safeguarding and compliance suite.
