We use an online app called Xplor that offers real time updates about your child's health such as what they have eaten and when, their nappy changes and sleeps. We provide a summary of the day with photos of the children. We share our individual observations of the children with you using Xplor and you can also access our indoor and outdoor program on here as well. This app is where you sign your child in and out, where you can request extra days, put in absent requests and manage finances as well. Any communication from educators or the manager also comes through here. Everything you need all in one place.
