Accounting Exports
Nurseries can now use our newly designed accounting exports! These are made up of Child Reference Codes, Account Codes and a specific export for Xero and Sage50.
Child Reference Codes
You can now add children’s unique reference codes which will match to your accounting software.
The codes will always be automatically populated unless of course manually edited by the user.
Where can the reference codes be found?
For a specific child
Children > Child > Nursery information > Edit Pencil > Reference code is found at the bottom.
For all children
More > Settings > Finance > Child Reference Codes > You can edit them on this page.
Top tip:
Code can be in any format you wish that uses letters & numbers.
Account Codes
We now have account codes too.
All invoice items will have account/nominal codes that again, match with different accounting softwares which will show on the invoice exports.
Go to More > Settings > Finance > Account Codes.
Finance Export
Finance data can now be exported as a CSV for specific integration with Xero and Sage50 as well as a general export which includes all of the data.
Go to Finance > Invoices > Export
From the export pop up you can select:
- Either General, Xero or Sage50.
- Date range.
- A specific child or all children.
- Who the export will be sent to.
- Tick to include invoices and/or credit notes.
Exporting invoices to Xero and Sage 50
If you are still having difficulties exporting your accounting data and you find that the steps explained above are not really clear, don’t worry (it can happen), we are here to help you with that. we have created a video simulation that explains step by step how you can export your accounting data to Sage 50 or to Xero in a few seconds.
Exported CSV
Remember, depending on the accounting tool the columns in the CSV export are designed to differ accordingly.
Things to know about the CSV:
- Nurseries will get a breakdown per line item.
- The CSV will recognise positive and negative values for invoices and credit notes.
Top tip:
In relation to the accounting packages Xero and Sage50, the account codes only get imported when they are added to Xero or Sage50 first.

News file formats
To make it easier to upload information to your a News Post we have extended our file formats. You can now add a document, presentation, pdf and spreadsheet.
Allergy dropdown
There are now three options to choose from in the allergy dropdown; Has allergy, No allergy & Unknown allergy.
Top tip:
If an existing child has no allergy they will automatically default to unknown allergy.
This will then be reflective on the dietary requirements and allergies report.
Go to Children > Child > Medical information > Allergies.
Staffing & HR
Staffing & HR has been with our valued Pilot Nurseries for a few weeks now.
We have collected feedback and have already implemented changes.
Sickness Report
You can now export a Sickness Report.
Go to More > Staff Leave > Export.
Select Sickness Report for the Report type and the report parameters.
A CSV export will be emailed to the selected recipient.
Staff Rota All Rooms View
When going to the staff rota, the default filtered view will be the new ‘all rooms’ view. This shows you staff member’s shifts across multiple rooms in both the week and day view. The all rooms view can also be exported.
Across the staffing features, we have improved the visual look based on feedback to make the different activities for work, break, holiday and sick leave easier to understand. The icons for each of those have been replaced with the text labels. These labels are seen on the staff rota, worklog and workday overview.
