FAQs — IT support for nurseries & childcare
Q.What IT support do nurseries and childcare providers need?
Nurseries and childcare providers need IT that supports both educational practice (learning journey documentation, EYFS tracking, parent communication) and business operations (HR, finance, safeguarding records). Children's data is among the most sensitive category of personal data under UK GDPR — requiring the highest standards of data protection. IT must also support Ofsted compliance and the safeguarding obligations that Ofsted inspects.
Q.Can you support our Tapestry or Famly nursery management system?
Yes. We support Tapestry, Famly, ParentZone, Nursery in a Box, and other early years management platforms. We manage the tablets and devices practitioners use to document learning journeys, ensure reliable connectivity for parent portal access, manage app updates, and provide first-line support for practitioners and managers.
Q.How do you help nurseries protect children's data under GDPR?
Children's personal data is a special category under UK GDPR and requires enhanced protection. We implement strict access controls (only authorised practitioners can access children's records), encrypted storage for sensitive data, data retention policies aligned to statutory requirements, parent consent management support, and breach detection and response procedures. We help nurseries document their data protection measures for ICO compliance.
Q.How do you support Ofsted compliance from an IT perspective?
Ofsted inspectors look for evidence that children's data is protected, safeguarding records are maintained and accessible, and that the nursery has appropriate policies and procedures. From an IT perspective, we help nurseries maintain appropriate access controls on safeguarding records, implement data protection policies, document their IT security measures, and ensure systems are reliable and backed up.
Q.How much does IT support for a nursery cost?
Managed IT support for nurseries and childcare providers is priced to be accessible for the sector. A typical nursery with 10-20 staff pays £300–£600/month for comprehensive managed IT including helpdesk, monitoring, Microsoft 365, nursery software support, and cyber security. Multi-site nursery groups benefit from volume pricing.
