If this sounds familiar

The care matters most, but the records still have to get done.

The children go home, but the paperwork does not.

You are still trying to remember meals, naps, parent conversations, and what still needs writing up.

Records end up spread across too many places.

Simple jobs feel bigger when the details are split between paper, chats, and memory.

Parents need updates without adding another evening job.

Families should feel informed without you spending the whole evening sending catch-up messages.

When something important happens, you need the right record fast.

Attendance, incidents, contacts, pickup checks, and EYFS records need to be easy to trust and easy to find.

Kieran and Laura, the team behind ChildLogs

Why I built ChildLogs

This started at home, not in a boardroom.

I built ChildLogs after watching my wife Laura deal with the constant pressure of keeping childcare records up to date while still giving children the time and attention they deserve.

A lot of that stress came from trying to stay organised, keep parents informed, stay compliant, and still avoid evenings full of notes and paperwork. So this app was built to take that weight off with one simple, trustworthy place to keep the whole day together.

ChildLogs is built and supported by me through KOWD. If you ever need a hand, email info@childlogs.com or message KOWD on WhatsApp.
