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.
