We get it
Running a nursery is rewarding and relentless in equal measure.
You didn’t get into early years for the admin. But somewhere between funding calculations, rota gaps, and Ofsted prep, the paperwork took over. And the time you wanted to spend with the children sank into spreadsheets.
The problem isn’t you. It’s the unrealistically high expectations, growing admin, and constant pressure to do more with fewer staff. You need better tools to keep up with the demand.
The staffing black hole
You spend hours on recruitment only to lose candidates to agencies or settings that move faster.
The operational fog
"Are we profitable this month?" "Is the ratio right in the Butterfly Room?" You shouldn't have to guess.
Compliance anxiety
The low-level dread of an Ofsted inspection. The scramble for evidence that should be at your fingertips.
The paperwork mountain
Observations, daily diaries, invoices, funding claims. Every minute on admin is a minute away from the children.
Built for your role
Your mission is unique.
Your tools should be too.
Whether you run one setting or 70, eyworks adapts to your world. Not the other way around.

Little Ducklings
Equip your team with intuitive tools to run a thriving setting. Turn operational fog into clear, actionable data. Stay on top of staff ratios, funded hours, and occupancy forecasting.
Educators
“I love that the parents can make comments and add their own observations as this really helps get a full rounded picture.”

How we're different
Building blocks, not cages.
With most traditional nursery software, it's all or nothing. You pay for tools you'll never use, get locked into a long contract, and swap your entire system in one go.
eyworks works differently.
Start with the tools you need today and get every feature within them. Add more as your setting grows, at your own pace.
No pricing tiers. No feature gates.
Your software should adapt to your needs, not the other way around.
| Traditional | eyworks | |
|---|---|---|
| Pick only what you need | No | Yes |
| Full features, no tiers | No | Yes |
| Gradual adoption | No | Yes |
| Dedicated recruitment (ATS) | No | Yes |
| No vendor lock-in | No | Yes |
| Pricing grows with you | No | Yes |
What we believe
Three convictions that shape everything we build.
01
Presence over paperwork. Always.
Admin is a necessary evil. Our job is to make it invisible so educators can be present with children. We measure our success by how little time you spend on your device.
02
Your data should be your strongest asset.
03
Grow and adapt. Don’t rip and replace.
Don’t tear down the house just to fix the window. Our modular approach means you adopt at your own pace, without disrupting staff, parents, or children.
