How Complys works for nurseries and childminders
Complys brings your EYFS evidence, safeguarding and DBS records, paediatric first aid and training into one place and keeps them current, so being Ofsted-ready is your normal state rather than a last-minute scramble. Here is how it works, from setting up your setting to producing your evidence on the day.
Getting your setting set up
You add your setting, your staff and their DBS checks, qualifications and training, all at once or gradually as you go. From that point Complys is the single, private place where your compliance lives, and it works the same for a childminder as for a nursery group, with pricing that starts low enough for a solo childminder to afford.
Safeguarding and safe recruitment
Complys keeps your safeguarding at the centre: your safeguarding and child-protection policies, your designated lead, and your staff safeguarding training, kept current. Safe recruitment sits in the same record, with enhanced DBS checks, references and qualifications tracked for every member of staff. The recurring risk is a DBS that was never refreshed or a check that was done but never recorded, and a live record that tracks every check with its date removes exactly that risk.
Ratios, first aid and training
Paediatric first aid certificates expire and must be renewed, and a lapse can leave you unable to show adequate cover. Complys tracks paediatric first aid and every other mandatory course on a matrix with expiry reminders, so you always know who is trained, who is due a refresher and where you have a gap. Your qualifications and the evidence behind your ratios sit in the same place.
Welfare records and EYFS readiness
Your risk assessments, accident and incident records, fire drills and medication procedures are all held and kept current, and the readiness view maps your position against the EYFS requirements Ofsted inspect, so you can see what is in place, what is expiring and what needs attention. Preparing for an inspection becomes a continuous habit rather than a frantic effort.
Using it day to day, and on inspection day
Complys works from a phone, so incidents and records can be logged from the room floor, and the reminders keep the whole team ahead of renewals. When Ofsted arrive, your DBS and training records, safeguarding evidence, risk assessments and records are all current and to hand, so you produce a complete picture in minutes rather than pulling folders together under pressure.
Pricing and getting started
Complys for Childcare starts with a 90-day free trial and no card, so you can set up your setting and see your readiness before deciding anything. Pricing scales with size, starting low enough for a childminder and reaching up to a nursery group, and the price you start on is locked in if prices rise later. Everything here is included in every tier, and you can be set up the same day.
Questions, answered
Is Complys a nursery management or parent-comms app?
No. Complys is the compliance and safeguarding backbone of your setting — DBS, training, policies, risk assessments and Ofsted readiness. It runs alongside whatever you use for registers, invoicing to parents or daily updates, and keeps the evidence an inspector will ask for in order.
How does it help with Ofsted?
It tracks every statutory EYFS requirement against your setting and shows what's in place, what's expiring and what needs attention. Instead of pulling folders together the night before, you keep a live, current record you can produce at any time.
Does it handle safeguarding and DBS?
Yes. Safeguarding policies, designated-lead training and enhanced DBS checks for every staff member are tracked with renewal reminders, so nothing lapses and everything is evidenced.
What does £149 a month include?
Everything in the Childcare edition: EYFS and Ofsted readiness, safeguarding and DBS tracking, the full training matrix, policies, accident and incident records, quoting and invoicing, and your public profile. No per-child fees.
Does it work for childminders as well as nurseries?
Yes. Whether you're a childminder, a pre-school or a larger nursery group, the Childcare edition is built around the same core: keeping every child safe and every requirement evidenced, without drowning in paperwork.
