Kelly Hill, Director Codsall Community Nursery Wolverhampton, Staffordshire

“We have recently moved over to Child Paths at Codsall Community Nursery and couldn’t be happier. The onboarding process was smooth and staff training was really effective. Parent feedback has been positive and we are looking forward to using more of the system to support children’s development.”

Leah Clarke, Director, Barney Bears Nurseries, London

“On walking into our West Ham branch following training, our staff were so excited about the future of Childs Paths, also how this will free up so much more time. Just an amazing feeling to have the staff all on board. Thank you so much; this really is going to transform Barney Bears Nurseries”

Becky and Steph, Directors, Chy Lowen Early Years and Preschool Newquay, Cornwall

“We’ve been using Child Paths since the start of 2023. We looked at many different apps however we felt Child Paths was the best fit for us as it’s so comprehensive and easy to use. It covers all aspects of our early years and preschool which helps us go paperless using just one system. The support from the team is amazing, we wouldn’t be without Child Paths now.”

Georgia Burns, Manager, The Beacon Day Nursery Nelson Lancashire

“We have been using Child Paths for the last number of months and found the system brilliant. The digital forms section allows us to send all of our parents forms for them to review and digitally sign and send them back to me. This not only saves us time, but now we save so much money not having to buy paper or ink. Child Paths provides us with everything we require in the one system and their customer service is excellent too”

R.Warner, Manager - Swansea, UK

“Here at Abacus Day Nursery and Preschool, we have been using ‘Child Paths’ for the last 2+ months. We have seen a huge difference in our connections with parents and it has been a godsend to our nursery as it makes the workload a lot easier for the staff and management, being able to have control of all paperwork in one place and cutting down on paper, printing and storage space. Robbie and the team at ‘Child Paths’ have been amazing. Here at Abacus we would highly recommend ‘Child Paths’ has it helps build the level of trust between staff and parents and allows parents to have more of an insight into their child’s day and development.”

Lorette Tollervey - Manager - Chestnut Childcare

“During the month of July, we visited the Nursery Managers Show at Birmingham NEC. Whilst there we met the Child Paths team who were brilliant, really friendly and informative. They spent so much time going through the software. From this, we decided to go ahead and begin our journey to change from the system we were currently using to this new system. As a nursery, we were a little apprehensive but the team at Child Paths have been there to support and answer the queries we have had. The system is brilliant and in-depth. Within this, there is a Montessori section, which we have now incorporated within the nursery. We have now added a Montessori room, which has transformed our nursery. Thank you team Child Paths from all the staff at Chestnuts Childcare. “
