Why nurseries are moving to Wootzoo

Built in Wales. For Wales.

Not a UK-wide platform with Welsh bolted on. Designed from day one around CIW, Curriculum for Wales, and the Welsh language.

Welsh that actually works

The staff interface, parent app, and invoices all run in Welsh. Parent communications translate automatically, so you type once and send in both languages. Staff adopt it faster, parents engage more, and you meet the Active Offer without extra work.

CIW-ready from day one

Reports designed for Welsh inspections, not EYFS documents renamed. Curriculum for Wales observations built in, so inspectors see exactly what they expect.

Billing that just works

Childcare Offer for Wales and Flying Start billing is automated. Wootzoo calculates funded hours, splits invoices, and handles parent top-ups automatically. No spreadsheets, no manual reconciliation.

Everything You Need to Run Your Childcare Setting

Automated Attendance & Invoicing

No more manual timesheets or chasing payments. Everything happens automatically.

Bilingual Parent Communication

Send updates, photos, and messages in Welsh or English - parents choose their language.

CIW Compliance Reports

Automated tracking and reporting for all CIW requirements. Always inspection-ready.

Online Bookings & Waiting Lists

Parents can book sessions 24/7 and join waiting lists when you're full.

Your Own Free Website

Every setting gets a shareable Wootzoo page for bookings and enquiries. “It saves me paying for an actual website.” says Paul Holmes, Club Futsal.

"Tasks that meant paperwork and photocopying are now done in a few taps."

Amy, Fun Foundations, Cowbridge

Don’t just take our word for it...

“If I had wrote a wishlist of things I would want from a platform, Wootzoo would have marked every single one off with a giant tick. Every platform we tried before was made for EYFS England, with Curriculum Wales shoehorned on as an afterthought — Wootzoo is specifically made for the Welsh Curriculum, so observations can be recorded against the areas of learning and experience and the four purposes.”

Loulou's Explorers

Read Louise's story

“Wootzoo is a long-awaited milestone for nurseries in Wales. Purpose-built to align with the Welsh curriculum and CIW expectations, it finally provides a system that truly understands our local needs. Our team love how it's transformed their day. Tasks that meant paperwork and photocopying are now done in a few taps. Families are equally enthusiastic about the real-time 'Magic Moments' updates that keep them connected throughout the day. The support from Wootzoo is extraordinary. Matthew (and the team) are always on hand when we need help. We'd recommend it to any Welsh provider without hesitation.”

Amy

Fun Foundations

“We were a bit hesitant to use an app to communicate and provide information to parents. After looking at different options, Wootzoo was by far the best choice for us as it supports the Welsh language. The format is simple, intuitive, and gives parents everything they need throughout the day. They're especially loving the daily photo updates of their children! We'd recommend Wootzoo to any Welsh provider — and Matthew is always on hand to help and support us whenever needed.”

Hayley

Cylch Meithrin Llanilltud Fawr

“We've been using Wootzoo since September, and we're really happy with how much it's improved our parent communications. It's made my day-to-day working life so much easier, with everything in one place and no more endless paper use. Parents love having all the information they need at their fingertips, and the platform has really helped streamline our processes. I would highly recommend Wootzoo to any Cylch or childcare setting looking for an efficient, eco-friendly way to boost parent engagement.”

Catrin Watkins

Cylch Meithrin Gellionnen

“Since switching to Wootzoo we've seen a steady increase in bookings and enquiries. It's handy having the built in webpage, as it saves me paying for an actual website. I am impressed. The team are quick to respond and have taken on board my input. We used to use Class4Kids but they were impossible to get hold of.”

Paul Holmes

Club Futsal

“We've been using Wootzoo since January, parents love having all the information they need at their fingertips and the platform has really helped us with day to day running of our Cylch. Our holiday club numbers have increased and everyone has commented how easy it is to use. I would highly recommend Wootzoo to any Cylch or childcare setting.”

Becky Suckley

Cylch Bodhyfryd

“I have saved so much time with Wootzoo. I have all my bookings in one place, I can organise my payments and it's so easy to communicate with my customers now! I love the sharing feature too. I've created a customised landing page and had my first new customer within a few days.”

Theresa Goodwin

True Aim Activities

“We couldn't be more grateful to the Wootzoo app! We have been using this app since September 2025. It has eliminated our hard copies of information allowing us to upload quick and easy to the app in just a click of a button for parents, us as providers and inspectors. We no longer keep paper copies of observations; all evidence is logged using the app where we can share with parents if needed. Matthew is always at the other end of the phone if we have any questions or any suggestions to improve the app tailoring to our specific needs.”

Hannah Maiden

Cylch Meithrin Bysedd Bach

“Wootzoo makes communication with parents really easy by uploading meals, pictures and updates at the click of a button. The invoicing function is really useful too as it means that we are on top of our cashflow and don't need to chase parents. We love the fact that it is available in Welsh language - nothing else like it exists and as a Welsh language nursery this is a really important feature.”

Natasha Baker

Wibli Wobli Nursery

“Using Wootzoo has been a game-changer for our Cylch. No more paper registrations! Automated invoicing and all our policies stored securely in one place — accessible to parents whenever they need them.”

Bethan

Cylch Meithrin Llanfairpwll

“The website has been a great tool to help enable us to go paperless and to save time during the day. Everything is in one place which is a great help to staff and parents. The website has everything from daily records to invoices at a click of a button and runs in line with CIW requirements. We couldn't be without the website now!”
