Preparing for the Spring Funding Period
With the Christmas break approaching, now is the time to get your Spring term funding claims in order. Here's how to prepare.
We build modern, human-centred tools for nurseries, pre-schools, and childminders. Designed for the UK early years sector, built by people who understand it.
Early Tree Nursery Management System brings together everything you need to run your setting—without the endless admin, clunky interfaces, or features that only make sense to software engineers.
We're building this carefully, with real nurseries guiding our decisions. During beta, we work closely with a limited number of settings to ensure the system is genuinely useful before opening more widely. Beta partners get guided onboarding, direct support, and their feedback directly shapes what we build next.
Every detail in one place: contacts, medical needs, dietary requirements, permissions, and full audit trail.

This isn't a generic childcare system adapted for the UK. It's built from the ground up around EYFS, Development Matters, and the actual workflow of settings in England. Observations, areas of learning, progress tracking, and safeguarding requirements are all first-class features, not afterthoughts.
We work with real nurseries to understand how practitioners actually use these frameworks day-to-day, and we design accordingly.
Inspector Who gives you insight into Ofsted inspection patterns, inspector histories, and trends across the early years sector.
Data-driven insights from public Ofsted reports, helping you prepare and understand the landscape.
Digital declarations, streamlined claims, and clear visibility for everyone involved.
A modern portal for early years funding that reduces admin overhead, improves accuracy, and gives everyone visibility.
