EYFS LEARNING & ASSESSMENT
Track Development Across All Seven Areas of Learning
Daily Connect links every observation to the EYFS areas of learning, so you can see how each child is progressing at a glance. Practitioners log a moment once and it builds into a clear picture of development over time, ready to share with parents and to support your next planning cycle.
Located in Scotland? 🏴 Daily Connect also supports the Curriculum for Excellence (Early Level), the SHANARRI wellbeing indicators, and the Health and Social Care Standards, so your observations stay aligned with your framework.
Attendance Records Your Funding Relies On
If your setting offers government-funded hours, your attendance records directly affect your funding. Daily Connect gives you accurate, real-time attendance for every child, every day, automatically timestamped at sign-in and sign-out. When it's time to submit your headcount or funding return, your data is already there.
No scrambling at term-end. No reconstructing records from memory.
ATTENDANCE TRACKING
FAMILY COMMUNICATION
Every Family Stays In The Loop
Parents want to know how their child's day is going, and Daily Connect keeps them connected without adding to your team's workload. Share photos, updates and messages in real time, send announcements to the whole setting at once, and reply to parents from the same place you run your day. Families feel close to their child's experience, and your staff spend less time fielding questions at pick-up.
And for families who speak another language at home, Daily Connect can automatically translate messages between staff and parents, so no family is left out of the conversation.

Stay on Top of Certifications Before They Become a Compliance Problem
Early years staff must hold current paediatric first aid certification, and anyone working in your setting needs an up-to-date enhanced DBS check. Daily Connect lets you store credentials, set expiry dates, and receive automated reminders before anything lapses, so you're always ready for inspection.
STAFF MANAGEMENT
CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT
Always Know Where You Stand on Ratios
EYFS rules set strict staff-to-child ratios that vary by age group. Daily Connect's real-time attendance dashboard shows exactly how many children are signed in, by room and age group, at any moment, so you and your team always know where you stand.
Billing That Handles the Complexity of Your Business
Automated billing tools built for early years settings. Send invoices, track funded hours, and get paid on time with payment reminder emails. Keep an eye on performance with a built-in financial dashboard.
