Nursery management made easier for owners and directors
Owners, trustees and directors answer for safeguarding and inspection. Most find their gaps the week before an inspection, usually by ringing the manager and asking.
- The Nominated Individual View. An oversight dashboard and an action queue across the settings you're responsible for, including a safeguarding view
- The record stays with the setting. If your manager leaves, the next one starts from the record, not from scratch
- Reports for the board. Ready-made reports, and organisation dashboards you can build and share
- Less admin for your managers. Daily checks, logs and records in one place your team actually uses
Simplify everyday nursery management with Otii
Tuesday, 7.40am. Two staff off, a parent at the door with a question, and somebody asking where the fire drill log is.
- Room checks, room by room. Daily, weekly and termly checks in the Compliance Hub, with progress by room
- One place for the daily stuff. Room checks, accidents, medication and risk assessments together
- Reminders that do the chasing. Expiring training, due reviews and overdue actions flagged for you
- Who needs action, who to watch. The Staff Hub sorts the team, and shows supervisions coming up or overdue
- Each practitioner sees their own list. Their tasks, checks, training and the policies to read and sign, on a phone or a laptop, with a quick way to log a concern, incident or accident
Multi-site nursery management made simpler
Every site runs a little differently, and you find out what's slipping by ringing round. You shouldn't have to chase every site to know.
- Every site in one view. Open actions for every site, and organisation dashboards published to the sites you choose
- Shared policies. Publish once, and track who has read it at each site
Wearing every hat?
In a single setting one person often wears every hat: owner, manager, DSL and SENCo. Otii keeps it all in one place, so you're not the system holding it together.
- Everything in one place. Checks, records, concerns and policies together, with an owner and a date on every action
- Calm when Ofsted calls. A day's notice, or none at all. The evidence is already there
- One price, everything in. Per setting, unlimited users, no bolt-ons
Sound familiar?
You look after several settings and need to spot gaps early, without chasing everyone. Otii shows outstanding actions and Otii Flags across every site in one view.
- One view of every site. Outstanding actions and flags across all your settings
- Consistent processes. The same checks and records in every setting
- Less chasing. Managers see their own actions; you see the picture
- Spot gaps early. Patterns across sites brought to your attention
Sound familiar?
You set the standards, coordinate audits and report to senior leaders, and you need to evidence compliance consistently across the whole organisation.
- Central policy governance. Publish once, see who has read it in every setting
- Reporting for senior leaders. Organisation-wide reports without spreadsheets
- Audit trails. Every record time-stamped and attributable
- Accountability by setting. See who owns what, and what's outstanding
Safeguarding management for nursery DSLs
A practitioner tells you about a mark she noticed at pick-up. Her note, your decision, who you told and what happens next need to be kept together, and seen only by the right people. Our safeguarding content is reviewed by our safeguarding adviser before it ships.
- A concern logged from any screen. The practitioner records it in a few steps, wherever she is in Otii
- DSL case management. A private dashboard with triage, actions and a full chronology for each case
- A record nobody can change. Once an entry is in, it can't be edited or deleted
- Patterns, not just entries. Repeat injuries and linked concerns are brought to your attention
Making SEND support easier to manage in early years settings
Support plans in one folder, review notes in another, the conversation with a parent in your notebook and the EYPP spend in a spreadsheet. "It helps join the dots, not decide the pathway." (Maggie Bolger, on inclusion)
- Identification and support planning. Kept together for each child in the Inclusion Hub in Get Otii
- Parents and professionals alongside the plan. Their views, your conversations, and notes and reports from other professionals kept with the child's record
- Reviews on time. Dates set, owners named, reminders sent
- Early Years Pupil Premium. Record how the funding supports each eligible child
Will this make my day easier?
Know what's yours, get it done, get back to the children. Otii shows each member of staff what they need to do today, on their phone, in a few taps.
- Clear tasks. Only what's yours, when it's due
- Quick to log. Accidents, checks and concerns in a few taps
- A safe way to speak up. Raise a concern directly with the right person
- Training that fits the day. Short refreshers you can do between sessions
