Everything a setting actually uses
No bloated modules. Just the things that take up your day, done properly on a phone.
Daily diaries
Log meals, naps, nappies and toileting, activities, learning observations and medication — in seconds, from your phone. Parents see it instantly.
Photos that stay private
Share photos with the right parents only. Stored in the EU, never public, and respect each child's photo consent.
Parent app & messaging
One-to-one messages with each family, plus setting-wide announcements. Urgent notices also go out by email to every parent and staff member at once.
Children's records
Rooms, key workers, allergies, dietary and medical notes, emergency contacts and consent — with row-level security so families only ever see their own child.
Invoicing & payments
Set fee schedules per child or family, raise invoices, and track what's been paid. Online card payments are on the way.
Staff & rooms
Invite your team with the right role — owner, manager or practitioner — and keep each room and key-worker assignment tidy.
Serious about security
Every request runs under row-level security in Postgres. Sign-in is through Keycloak, secrets live in Infisical, and photos sit in private EU storage.
Invoiced to your setting
One simple price for the whole setting — no per-seat surprises. Change or cancel any time through Stripe.

Questions
Do parents pay to use it?
No. Parents use MinderSprout free — you invite them and they sign in. Only the setting pays.
Is it good on a phone?
Yes. It's built mobile-first, so diaries, photos and messages are quick one-handed.
Where is our data kept?
In the UK/EU. Photos are stored in a private EU bucket, and every request is confined by row-level security in Postgres.
Can we try it first?
Yes — 14 days free, no card needed to start. Cancel any time.
What about a data protection agreement?
The terms include our processor terms. See the privacy notice and subprocessors list for exactly how children's data is handled.
