Dear Blossomers,

You said, we listened. Our latest software update 9.4.0 allows users to upload photos and videos. You can make your parents’ day by sending a video of their little one learning and having fun while at your nursery!

On top of that, we’re helping you to upload your shelves (or rooms) of paperwork to the software. You’ll have easy access to and safe keeping of files – while clearing out a lot of space! Enjoy!

Send parents videos

If a picture is ‘worth a 1000 words’ that means a video is worth a lot more, right? Blossom users can now upload photos and videos to be sent to parents via diary updates. Nurseries can upload videos under “observations’ as well to keep detailed records of a child’s development.

Bonus: We have installed a background uploader meaning you don’t have to wait for videos to be 100% uploaded. Simply select the video you want, hit ‘submit’ and get back to the children. We’ll take care of the rest.

Upload nursery files

Nursery Documents

Say ‘good-bye’ to your archive room. You know, the room literally filled with files and piles of documents? Now nurseries can upload documents to the Blossom system itself. Can’t remember when staff qualifications need to be renewed? Don’t rummage through dusty files, find what you’re looking for in one click with Blossom.

Bonus: The software supports different file formats (such as PNG, PDF, Word, CSV and much more). No more wasting time on converting files.

Child Documents

Tired of losing documents? Need to check a child’s birth certificate ASAP? Upload all documents relating to a child under ‘child profiles’ instantly. Know where to find information about all your children - quickly and easily.

Staff Documents

Blossom users can now upload staff documents to their individual profiles. Whether it be their qualifications or contracts - never struggle to find important documents again.
