For nurseries
Less admin. More time on the floor.
Little Loft is built for the people actually running the setting — the manager, the room leader, the finance lead. One calm system replaces three or four you're stitching together today.
Cut observation time in half
Photo → EYFS tags → parent notification in seconds. Educators log observations while they're still in the moment, not at the end of the day.
EYFS and Ofsted in one place
Every observation maps to Development Matters and Birth to 5. Two-year checks and cohort summaries generate from real data — not a spreadsheet.
Get paid faster
Invoices from bookings, Tax-Free Childcare recording, funded-hours tracking, and Stripe payments so parents pay in a tap.
Rota that respects ratios
Drag-and-drop shifts across rooms, ratio warnings before you commit, and payroll ready for your accountant at month end.
Ofsted-ready compliance
Accidents with manager approval, medication logs, fire drills, safeguarding, policies with acknowledgements, self-evaluation and mock inspection.
Onboarding in an afternoon
We migrate your existing data. Your team is trained the same week. No consultants, no 12-month lock-in.
One nursery management system instead of four tools
Little Loft brings EYFS observation software, your children's learning journals, nursery billing, funded-hours recording, rota planning and live ratio tracking into a single UK childcare management system — with a nursery parent app included for families.
A day, a week, a year — sorted
Whether you're logging a nappy change, planning next week's rota, or preparing for Ofsted — it lives in Little Loft.
