Customer Reviews

“We have introduced Child Paths in five of our services and it has improved and simplified our record keeping. Staff and parents appreciate the ease with which we can share relevant information and updates including pictures and activities. The system saves staff time, allows for clear and concise messages to be passed between relevant people while meeting new requirements for TUSLA and POBAL. It also provides back office with easier access to relevant details. We are happy to recommend this system.”
“We are a community creche and have been using Child Paths for almost two years to enhance our communication with parents and we now have more effective and efficient two-way communication. Staff find this a much quicker and easier method of record-keeping. Child Paths provide great support and welcome all feedback from us. We highly recommend Child Paths and while we were apprehensive about introducing the technology to our staff and parents, we would not go back.”
“Child Paths has given our time back to the children and we are no longer drowning in paperwork! The team has created a breakthrough product for the Childcare industry and families. They continue to improve and modernise the software before any new regulations come into effect, saving owners and managers time and reducing stress. I quite simply can’t recommend Child Paths highly enough. Best decision I have made to date with my company. “
“We have been using Child paths for almost two years now and can’t fault the app and more so the support from Ciaran and the team. Anytime we have any problems (which are few) they are resolved straight away. The team are open to suggestions for change and improvement. I would highly recommend Child Paths.”
Our recent Pobal inspection went smoother than ever, thanks to Child Paths. The inspector was very impressed with how easily we could access all our records in one place, especially the tracking of attendance and NCS hours to ensure compliance. There was no scrambling for paperwork or searching for information, as it was all right there when we needed it. Child Paths made the entire process so simple and efficient!
“We had our Pobal Compliance visit last year. After doing the corrections on PIP in relation to nonattendance or wrong attendance of children, we had to hand back €15,000 of funding. This year we are using Child Paths to record our attendance. The inspector we had worked off Child Paths told me that it was the first software she had seen that showed the total attendance both in daily and hourly format of the child even if they attended numerous rooms during the day. She was very impressed by Child Paths as it showed everything she needed for the inspection.”
“We have used Child Paths since 2016. The main reason we went with Child Paths was to free up staff from paperwork. This worked exactly as promised and more. The Child Paths team are passionate about their work and are always willing and available to support staff and parents”
We are delighted with how the new Montessori Feature has turned out. We can now incorporate the Montessori areas of learning and the different activities much quicker through the app. It allows us to monitor and track when children have presented, practiced and mastered activities. Child Paths has been a fantastic addition to our five services here in Cork and we would highly recommend this app.”

Child Paths
Thanks for this. Here are some text testimonials under the headings of:
Engaging parents
“Childpaths has been a game-changer for our childcare centre. The platform has significantly improved communication between staff and parents, providing real-time updates on children’s activities, meals, naps, and more. The ease of use and intuitive design make it simple for our team to log daily reports and reduce or remove the need for paper records and storage from most of our rooms. The parents truly appreciate the transparency and peace of mind and we’ve had positive feedback from many in relation to the platform. I would highly recommend Childpaths to any childcare provider looking to enhance both communication and efficiency.”
Saving time and money
“Child Paths has made a huge difference in how we manage our crèche. Before, we were overwhelmed with paperwork and constant stress trying to stay on top of everything for inspections. Now, communication with parents is much easier, and as a manager, I can see what’s happening in every room with just a click. With 130 children, there are always questions but Child Paths helps us respond quickly and stay organised. The finance feature has also been a big improvement. It’s easy to use and gives a clear view of all payments and invoices. I couldn’t recommend Child Paths enough.”
Customer support
“I would like to say that your customer service and assistance is fantastic. I am never waiting long for a reply from Jennifer or one of your team regarding any query I may have. It has also made it so much easier for our educators to communicate with parents daily. From the NCS side of it and ECCE schemes, it helps so much in keeping track of attendance, especially with an audit.”
Crèche testimonial
Just a quick summary on the savings that we have made over two years. As you can see there, is a dramatic difference in spending on printing and photography. As this is all now digital, there is very little spend per month. We haven’t needed to buy pens, Post-It notes and note books etc, so our carbon footprint has been reduced.
We had a staff member manage our admin, would also give the staff non-contact time to fill in Astir books and fill in observations and milestones reports. Since using Child Paths, this is all digital and the staff can input their data more efficiently. The program and curriculum all link to Siolta and Aistear without having to look up books and guides.
It provides an area where parents can feed into their child’s learning so is exceptionally efficient and more enjoyable for the staff to manage. It also provides great clarity in a DES and Pobal inspection. With no preparation, the inspector can view the plans of practitioners and the involvement of children and attendance. It has provided us with better communication with parents as they can leave messages and check in on their child’s progress throughout the day. Staff can also input meals and nappy changes etc more efficiently.
Originally, I was not keen on having staff sitting with iPads in their hands in a classroom environment, but it has allowed them to spend more time with the children.
