How the CWELCC module works

What it does

Everything the office and the rooms use every day

One system instead of forms, spreadsheets and group chats.

Registration online

Parents fill in one registration form from any phone. You decide the fields, the documents and the steps. Nothing is retyped.

Attendance and absences

Daily attendance linked to parents' absence notices. Closure days and holidays flow into billing.

Daily reports

Meals, naps and activities recorded once by the room team and shared with each family.

Invoices and card payments

Invoices built from fees and days attended. Families pay by card and the invoice closes itself.

Camps and events

A drag and drop form builder, a public sign-up page, a waiting list, approval, then a payment link by email.

Messages and news

Announcements and one to one messages in the parent area, with a record of what was sent.

All features

What the office no longer does by hand

A parent sends an absence notice. Attendance updates itself.
The room lead publishes the daily report for the families.
A family pays an invoice by card. The invoice closes itself.
A new enquiry arrives. The family gets a confirmation email.
Two camp sign-ups wait for approval. One is on the waiting list.

An illustrative day, not a customer story.

Camps and events

Holiday camps without the spreadsheet

Build the sign-up form by dragging fields into place. Share one public link. Approve who comes, and the family gets an email with the camp details and a way to pay.

  • Your own questions per camp, with conditional fields
  • Places counted for you, with a waiting list when full
  • Pay by card from the email, or by the methods your child care centre accepts
