“The Xap support team have been getting frequent calls from me and they have been absolutely amazing. Having a support team that I feel confident speaking to helps bridge my knowledge gap while I’m continuing to learn about the platform.
One of the main reasons that the owner chose Xap was because of the automated payments and the amount of time we would save, which has definitely been the case. It’s made such a difference to her time that it’s allowed me to step up into her role and freed her to pursue other things.”

The dashboard is clear and easy to follow. The processes are simple and logical. I find it easy to train my staff on how to use the main features. I always receive prompt and efficient replies and resolutions.”

“We’ve been using Xap for just over 2 years now, and we love it! It has everything we need and it is all in one place platform. It was an easy transition from our old software program to Xap, and it saves us so much time every day! Our parents love it too because we can send them instant notifications, daily updates and Xap’s Kiosk makes it easy for parents to sign-in and out children from our centre”

By using a CCMS platform like Xap’s childcare management software, centres can streamline processes that typically take hours each week. With our CCMS, daycares and other centres can spend less time on admin and more time delivering high-quality care.
A childcare management system helps early childcare centres, OSHCs, kindergartens and preschools manage enquiries, tours, waitlists and enrolments from a single dashboard. Xap’s all-in-one childcare system sends automated reminders and features communication tools that ensure families receive timely updates, helping to reduce no-shows and improve attendance rates. With real-time visibility, your team can make informed decisions about occupancy and enrolment pipelines.
Look for childcare software that has features that support daily operations, compliance, analytics and family engagement. A strong childcare admin software platform should offer enrolment management, attendance tracking, billing tools, digital documentation and real-time communication. It should also provide secure cloud storage and organisation-level management for multi-centre operators.
Xap’s childcare app for parents provides instant access to updates, photos, videos and daily reports. On the other hand, Xap’s app for childcare providers helps them share meaningful moments that strengthen family relationships and build trust.
