Advice needed on computerizing childcare records
I have a friend who is a childminder. She has a heavy load of
paperwork to keep up with. I've been asked to try to help her with computerising her record keeping system. I 've found numerous childcare software programs on the Web but they seem to be mainly American. Can anyone please suggest some Access/Excel templates that can be used as a basic for record keeping etc.? TIA -- Mike |

Is there an organisation for child minders in the UK, Mike? If so, does it
have a web site and/or a printed journal? If so, that's where I'd look for information, because if I published software targeted at child minders, that's where I'd be advertising it. -- Brendan Reynolds (MVP) http://brenreyn.blogspot.com The spammers and script-kiddies have succeeded in making it impossible for me to use a real e-mail address in public newsgroups.

If I understand you clearly I'd say that the answer to that is, no higher than necessary. I can see how in general, individual business software requirements will vary. It seems that for various reasons, the record keeping requirements in this situation are quite stringently defined by the governing bodies. It's probably quite similar in the USA, where the off the peg software I've found so far comes from. It appears to enable these software producers to offer a one size fits all solution, though there are optional modules.

An impressive and useful site. Thanks a lot for the link. Maurice St-Cyr Micro Systems Consultants, Inc. I have a friend who is a childminder. She has a heavy load of paperwork to keep up with.

If so, that's where I'd look for information, because if I published software targeted at child minders, that's where I'd be advertising it. There is an organisation and a site. I haven't investigated it fully because when I went there yesterday the first couple of things I tried to do, including writing a message to the forum, fell over before completion. I'll try again later. -- Mike |
