Booking software for nanny agencies in the UK.
A permanent placement is a contract rather than a diary entry, and pretending otherwise helps nobody. The trial day, the temp cover, the nanny share and the school run are the diary.

Temp cover, without the ring-round
A family whose nanny is off picks a cover day off your page, out of hours a temp genuinely has free. The seven o’clock ring-round can be skipped.

A term, and a half term, on one board
Term hours, half term and holiday sit on each nanny, so the only person offered for a Tuesday morning is one free that morning and near enough.
Learn moreWhich nanny is genuinely free.
One lane per nanny across the day, cover where the work is and gaps where it is not. A parent asking about tomorrow gets an answer off the board instead of a guess and three phone calls.
Our nanny is off sick. Could anyone cover 8 until 6 today?
The seven o’clock ask.
A parent is due at work within the hour. Nothing on the page fits, so the ask arrives as a request in the thread with the hours on it.
A record for every family.
Address, contact, the children on the record as subjects, what the family has spent with you and what is still owed. None of it lives in somebody's phone.

The family is the one invoiced.
The agency bills the family for the cover and the placement. Cash handed over at the door is written down by hand and costs nothing.
Every kind of cover
The days that genuinely go in a diary
A trial day with a shortlisted nanny
Booked as a real day with hours, an address and a price, so nobody arrives on the Monday with a different idea of what was agreed.
Temp cover when the family’s nanny is ill
A seven o’clock call becomes a booked day against whichever temp is free and near, hours and address already on the record.
The school run, three afternoons a week
Set the pattern once and the runs sit in the diary for the term. Move the Tuesday a family is away and leave the rest untouched.
A fortnight of cover over half term
Longer days, a different rate, a set number of them, priced by the hour on one document the family accepts by typing its name.
A nanny share between two families
One nanny, one day, two households behind it. Each family holds its own record and receives its own payment request for that day.
INSET day cover
A whole weekday off school and every family wants the same one. The board shows who is left before anything is promised to anybody.
Sole charge while the parents are away
Several long days in a row against one nanny, priced by the hour, with the run on the board rather than buried in an email chain.
A meet-and-greet at the family’s home
An hour at the house before anything is settled, booked like any other visit so it lands on the nanny’s day and not only in your head.
Cover while a family’s own nanny is on holiday
A fortnight of somebody else’s routine, booked as a block, invoiced to the family, closed off when their own nanny returns.
Wraparound care either side of the school day
A breakfast hour and an after-school hour, both short, both priced by the hour, both repeating without being re-entered each week.
The trial day, quoted three ways.
Nobody takes a nanny on from a profile. Put the trial day, the fortnight of temp cover and the ongoing week in front of the family at once.
Priced from the hours
Hours is a real pricing driver here. Put the rate and the hours on the line and the document does the arithmetic in front of the family.
Three arrangements, one document
Trial day, a fortnight of temp cover over half term and an ongoing three-day week, each priced and one marked recommended. Options come with Pro.
Accepted by typing a name
The family accepts online by typing its full name, and whichever option it chose converts straight into the trial day in the diary.

The school run, set once a term.
Three afternoons a week, the same gate, the same pick-up. Set the pattern once and the runs are in the diary before anyone asks.
Any cadence you actually work
Weekly or monthly, every week or every fourth, ending never, on a date or after a set number of runs. Standing arrangements are on the Free plan.
Move one day, not the pattern
Reschedule the afternoon a family is away and the rest of the arrangement re-anchors to it. Nothing needs rebuilding by hand.
A day off is an override
Mark a nanny off and her runs leave the board, so nobody is waiting at a gate on an afternoon she was never going to be there.
A placement is a document, not a diary entry.
The contract between a family and a nanny is not something to fake as a booking, so this does not try. What it keeps is the trail: the meet-and-greet, the trial day, the placement invoice and every cover day since, in one order on the family.
One feed, not four places
Bookings, documents, payments and the notes your team wrote are merged into a single history on the family, in the order they happened.
The nanny keeps a record too
Every day a nanny worked sits against her on the board and on the booking, so a question about six weeks ago has an answer rather than a memory.
Notes stay yours
Notes on a record are for your team and are never shown to the family. Bookables holds no clearance, runs no check and verifies nothing.

The run a nanny will genuinely do.
A nanny unwilling to cross town for a three o’clock pick-up is the real constraint. Claim the areas each covers and hold the page to them.

Common questions.
Not as a booking, no. A permanent placement is a contract between the family and the nanny, and calling it a diary entry would be pretending. The interview, the trial day and any temp cover around them are bookings. The placement itself sits on the family’s record as a document and an invoice.
No. It does not run a check, hold one, verify one or remind anyone about one, and it makes no claim to. Vetting and whatever registration applies to you are yours to arrange outside the product and to keep in your own files.
They can. The page offers only hours a nanny is genuinely free to work, and the booking is real once made. Where nothing shown fits, the family leaves a request with the hours it wants and you answer it in the thread.
One day, one nanny, two households. The day is a single booking carrying the hours, each family keeps its own record, and each gets its own payment request. Splitting a total into parts with their own due dates comes with Pro.
Yes. Hours is a real pricing driver, so a cover day prices itself from the hours chosen. A twelve-hour day and a school-run afternoon come out differently without anyone doing arithmetic over text.
It does not. No payroll, no contracts of employment, no tax. The product books the work, keeps the record and invoices the family. Paying a nanny remains with your accountant or your payroll software.
