Parents and children

Your family account holds contact and child details, care information, bookings, attendance and payment records. These support booking, safe care, collection and account administration. Payments are processed through PonchoPay. Your account provides access to bookings, invoices and receipts.

Applicants and staff

Application contact details, employment history, references and declarations are submitted securely for recruitment review. Authorised recruitment administrators review applications. An applicant's declaration is separate from a verified check. Please contact us to discuss sensitive information privately.

Parents, schools and other enquiries

We use the name, contact details, organisation and message you submit to record and respond to your enquiry. The platform stores the enquiry and sends a notification to the team. Please avoid including detailed medical, safeguarding or identity-document information in general enquiries.
