Platform case study

Staff induction

We built this platform for an out-of-school childcare provider to manage staff onboarding, training tasks and progress across its clubs.

Staff can work through tutorials, upload documents and see what they still need to complete. Managers have their own views for reviewing submissions and following up. More recent work adds practical-session scheduling, probation reviews and supervision records.

Induction tutorials

Staff work through tutorials and tasks, with a record of what they have started and completed.

Files & evidence

Staff upload the evidence requested for a task. Managers can review it, leave feedback and record approval.

Reviews & supervision

Staff and playleaders can prepare for meetings, record agreed actions and sign shared review records.

Practical sessions

Staff can request practical training, and playleaders can organise sessions with a time, place and the people taking part.

What it includes

Staff can see their assigned tutorials, tasks and outstanding uploads.

Playleaders can review progress and schedule practical training.

Office teams can follow completion and review records across clubs.

Managers can review staff availability and holiday cover.

For your setting

If you manage similar tasks, we can show you how the platform works and discuss what would need to be different for your setting. That might be the induction content, the review process or how your managers work across sites.

Different views for each role

Staff, playleaders and office teams each have a view of the work they need to do, from learning and evidence to reviews and follow-up.

Platform development

Recent additions to the platform

Practical sessions

Staff can request a practical session. Playleaders see the requests and arrange a time, location and group of participants.

Review dates

Two-week and six-month reviews are based on each person's employment start date. Managers can see which reviews are upcoming, due or overdue.

Review records

Staff can add preparation notes before a meeting. The playleader records the discussion and actions, then shares the record for staff sign-off.

In development: a tutorial assistant

We've designed a preview of a tutorial assistant for creating tutorials from documents and images. Tutorial generation is not connected yet. Club-specific tutorial authoring is also at the prototype stage.

Sample screens

What the platform looks like

Here are some of the staff and manager views. The screens use demo information, with no real staff records, child information or private club documents.

We can show you what we've built and talk through how you currently manage things. It's a chance to see whether a similar approach could be useful for your team.
