Why settings choose Taylormade Care
Observations and EYFS tracking
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, see EYFS ratios and qualification mix live, and keep a proper Single Central Record for DBS, references and training expiry.
Kitchen and food-safety module
Food-stock with low-stock alerts, allergen-aware menus that flag affected children, and the fridge-temperature, cleaning and EHO records inspectors look for.
Invoicing, funding and a parent app
Bill parents, record funded hours, and keep families close through secure magic-links — all on one flat per-setting price.
UK-built and UK-supported
Designed around the EYFS, Ofsted and UK GDPR, with personal support from the people who build it.
Kinderly leads on multi-nation curriculum support across all four UK nations. Our curriculum tracking is strongest for England's EYFS today, with nation-aware ratios for England, Wales and Scotland — so if four-nation curriculum is essential, do weigh that up.
Common questions
What does Taylormade Care add over Kinderly?
A full staff rota with live EYFS ratios and qualification-mix checks, the Single Central Record, and a dedicated kitchen and food-safety module — alongside the observations, invoicing and parent app you'd expect.
Does it support nations other than England?
Our ratios and terminology are nation-aware for England, Wales and Scotland, and our curriculum tracking is strongest for England's EYFS today. If four-nation curriculum frameworks are essential to you, it's worth comparing carefully.
