Built by a working nursery, not a vendor

Every small step, gathered into one clear journey.

Photograph a moment and ChildHive writes the observation — tagged to EYFS, Montessori and Waldorf, reviewed by a keyworker before it ever reaches a parent.

Three things nothing else does.

Built one real need at a time, inside a working nursery — starting with the parts everyone else leaves to you.

Growth Stories

Photograph a moment and a full observation comes back written — the learning, the next step, a parent summary — tagged to EYFS, Montessori and Waldorf in one pass. Where other nursery software has AI at all, it only polishes text you've already typed.

2-Year Progress Checks

The statutory EYFS two-year progress check, assembled from the observations already on file, every judgement linked to its evidence. No other nursery platform automates this report.

Standout

Allergen cross-check

Every allergy and medication tracked per child and cross-checked automatically against the day's meal plan — the label scanner reads packaging into a verified product library, and a staff member has to confirm every entry.

From the moment to the record

1

Take the photograph

One photo can cover a whole group — each child still gets their own write-up.

2

ChildHive drafts it

Tagged against every framework you run. Anything uncertain waits for review.

3

A keyworker reviews

Edited or approved — a person, never the model, decides what's shared.

See the whole process — the real screens, and where else it applies →

Built for the inspection, not just the demo.

Nothing unchecked reaches a parent

Every AI draft waits on staff review — always, no setting turns this off.

Access control that means it

Row-level security, 2FA for admins, audit trails on anything sensitive.

Works when the WiFi doesn't

Forms save locally in the forest, syncing when you're back in range.

Bring a photo. See the record it becomes.
