During your OFSTED inspection you will be asked to show and explain how you work in partnership with the parents of the children you care for, in fact within the record of inspection judgements, one of the areas you will be marked on is: "How well does the setting work in partnership with parents and others?"

Considering that close to 8% of your OFSTED inspection is graded on your parent partnerships it is imperative that you form a good working partnership with all of the parents of the children you care for, you must be able to communicate a steady flow of information regarding their child's progress, activities, development and more and be able to demonstrate how you do this during your Inspection.

Baby's Days allows you to form this partnership with your parents simply and effectively, when a parent connects to your system they are able to view numerous areas of the system decided by you and these include Daily Notes, Nappies, Toileting, Sleep Times, Progress, Photograph Galleries, Policies, Permissions and Invoices etc, within the Daily Notes they can read their child's daily activities and leave comments for you to read and respond to, within the Progress section they can read Progress and Observation notes, view photographs and see exactly what development level their child is currently at.

In addition they can read, agree to and digitally sign their acceptance of your Policies and Permissions and also view and print their weekly/monthly invoices.
