For nursery schools

Nursery school management software designed for early years

Nursery settings live by attendance accuracy, calm parent communication and tight control over who sees a child's information. Edura is a cloud-based platform that delivers all three — with class-teacher scope, role-based access and a clean parent portal — and that grows with the school as classes are added.

What nursery settings are trying to solve

Early-years priorities are different from primary or secondary — and the platform should reflect that.

Daily attendance accuracy

Knowing exactly which children are in, and notifying guardians promptly when they are not.

Parent communication

A reliable, calm channel for notifications and announcements — without depending on personal WhatsApp groups.

Tight access control

Only the people responsible for a child should be able to see their record — staff, parents and admins each in their own scope.

Child records

One place for date of birth, guardian links, address, admission details and class assignment — accurate and easy to update.

Sibling-aware fees

Fees that the bursar can adjust per child for siblings, bursaries or extras, with clear balances and receipts.

Data protection

Children\'s data demands more, not less, care than adult records — encryption, backups and audit trails are non-negotiable.

How Edura helps nursery schools

Class-teacher scope

Each class has a form teacher scoped to their own children — no whole-school browsing of records.

Attendance with parent alerts

Daily marking in seconds; automatic absence alerts where the school enables them.

Per-family parent portal

Guardians see only their own child, with linked guardian accounts where there are multiple key people.

Role-based access

Teachers, bursars, librarians, admins and admissions officers each have a clearly scoped role with audited actions.

Sibling-aware fees

Per-class fee schedules with per-child adjustments for siblings, scholarships or extra charges.

Secure by default

Encryption, cloud hosting on AWS, daily backups, audit logs and GDPR compliance.

Frequently asked questions

How do nursery schools manage attendance and parent communication?
Most nursery schools now use a cloud-based platform where each class teacher marks daily attendance in seconds and parents receive automatic notifications. Edura provides this, plus a parent portal where guardians see attendance, results once published, fees and announcements in one login.
Is Edura suitable for nursery and preschool settings?
Yes. Edura's student-record model captures the essentials nurseries need — date of birth, gender, blood group, religion, home address, guardian links and admission details — and supports a class-teacher-only workflow with strict role scoping.
Can we mark daily attendance for young children?
Yes. Class teachers mark attendance in seconds; guardians can be notified automatically when their child is absent.
Can parents see their child's information?
Yes. Each parent or guardian has their own portal showing only their own child's information — attendance, fees, results once published, and notifications.
How does Edura protect children's data?
Edura uses encrypted connections, secure cloud hosting on AWS, role-based access scoped to a teacher's assigned classes, daily backups, audit logs of sensitive actions, and is GDPR compliant.
Can we limit who sees children's records?
Yes. Class teachers are scoped to their own class; subject teachers to their assigned classes; bursars and librarians have separate, narrow scopes. Administrators control who has what role.
Can we manage multiple key persons or guardians per child?
Yes. A child can have multiple linked guardians with their own portal access and notification preferences.
Does Edura handle nursery fees?
Yes. Per-class fee schedules, online collection via Paystack and Stripe, receipts, balances and per-child adjustments — useful for sibling discounts and bursaries.
Can we send daily updates to parents?
Edura supports email notifications and WhatsApp messages (add-on). Detailed daily report features depend on your plan — get in touch to discuss fit.
Can we try Edura with one nursery class first?
Yes. The free trial lets you set up a single class, mark attendance, and see the parent view before extending to the whole setting.
