What are people saying?

Our preschool has recently received an NQS rating of Exceeding in all 7 quality areas after our Assessment and Rating in June.

We believe the introduction of Kindyhub software has played a major role in our NQS rating going from Meeting to Exceeding in all 7 quality areas, because everything we do is documented on the Kindyhub platform. During our A&R, we were so relieved to be able to simply show the assessor everything in one central location on Kindyhub, ranging from individual child observations and goals, learning stories, daily journals, communication with families, and show that we are linking it all back to our critical reflection and programming and planning. We also loved being able to show that Kindyhub works in real time and communication and responses between our Educators and families is shared instantly, including information about children’s learning and development and how the feedback and suggestions from families are followed up in our program.

We have only just moved to a digital platform this year after 50+ years of paper based documentation and have found that Kindyhub has not only strengthened our communication and relationships with children and families, but also enhanced Educator engagement and wellbeing as a direct result of the positive feedback and words of appreciation from families. Kindyhub has made a huge difference to the way that we communicate, program and plan. It has opened up a whole new way of documenting our cycle of learning and communicating with families, so I just wanted to thank you personally and share with you our A&R result, which Kindyhub most definitely contributed to!

Just received our A&R results back and we received overall EXCEEDING. Super happy but most importantly QA1 and QA6 were a credit to Kindyhub as it was flawless in showcasing how we exceed using your program. Many thanks to your team for always helping out with our requests.

Kindyhub is great for keeping children’s records and photos all in one place- to an unlimited capacity, meaning we can follow each child’s learning journey throughout the time they spend in Early Years, right through to when they begin primary school. Having the learning outcomes and sub outcomes right there to connect to each observation and learning story makes things super easy for educators to concentrate on what is happening, instead of fussing with pages in books to find the right point! I love that we can add little captions to the photos we upload, it just makes each child’s story a little bit more real and we are able to follow them through the stages of their learning.

I have found the ‘communicate’ section particularly helpful for sending quick messages to parents throughout the day, instead of trying to get hold of busy families over the phone.

I also love the report creator, which we use in our centre to build the children’s developmental summary reports for the middle and end of each year. It makes things a bit more personal and, adding to it over time, ensures that all observed events and skills are included.

Kindyhub is a really easy-to-use and comprehensive online platform which supports the needs of early years educators. I believe it would be a great system to use across primary schools and could (and has) eliminate(d) a lot of unnecessary paperwork!
