Staff Attendance for UAE Nurseries

Purpose-built around the operational reality of UAE nurseries: small teams, child-staff ratio tracking, safeguarding attestation, and inspection-ready reports. Without the enterprise price tag.

Free up to 25 staff · Inspection-ready · Mobile-first · Multi-branch friendly

Nurseries run on people, presence, and proof

Nurseries do not have the back-office of a full school. The team is small, every staff member matters to the day, and every inspection asks the same questions: who was on site, when, with which children, and what training was current. Most HR software is built for office staff — not for keyworkers, kitchen staff, drivers, and the assistants who run the room. CampusTrack works the way a nursery actually operates, with a price that fits a small team and a workflow that fits a busy day.

Small-team pricing

Free up to 25 staff with full features. No per-feature add-ons. AED-priced per active staff above 25. No multi-year contracts. Suited to single-branch nurseries and growing groups.

Child-staff ratio awareness

Configurable ratios per age band (infants, toddlers, pre-K). Live attendance shows who is on the floor and whether ratios are met. Anomaly alert if a check-out would breach the ratio.

Safeguarding attestation tracker

Each staff member’s safeguarding training, MOH-required certifications, and police clearance dates are tracked. Expiry alerts fire 30 / 14 / 7 days ahead so renewals stay current.

Emergency muster & headcount

One-tap fire-drill or evacuation roll call. Every staff member checks in within seconds; missing names surface immediately on the supervisor view. Drill records archived.

Inspection-ready reports

KHDA early-years inspection PDFs in seconds: staff attendance, punctuality, training currency, safeguarding cover. One-click export to PDF or Excel for the inspection binder.

Nursery-fit shift patterns

Split shifts, opening / closing covers, half-day staff, term-time-only contracts, holiday-club temps. Sun–Thu / Fri–Sat with prayer break and lunch built in.

Phone-based check-in

Staff check in from their own phones with GPS and face verification. No queue at a fingerprint reader, no hygiene risk, no shared touch surface near the children.

Multi-branch nursery groups

Groups running 2–10 branches see all sites from one dashboard with strict per-branch data isolation. Each branch lead sees only their own staff; central management sees all.

A typical day, captured end to end

01

Morning check-in

Staff check in from their phones on arrival. Ratio dashboard updates in real time as the team arrives.

02

Ratio monitoring

As children arrive and staff move between rooms, the ratio view shows current cover. Any breach alerts the supervisor immediately.

03

Mid-day events

Lunch break, rest period, late drop-offs, early pick-ups — all captured in the attendance log without paper records.

04

Afternoon & closing

Sequential check-outs as the day ends. Last staff member on site is logged. Building locked with the audit trail complete.

05

Inspection-ready archive

The day’s record archives into the inspection-ready report. Search any date, branch, or staff member in seconds.

Built around UAE compliance, not adapted to it

KHDA early-years inspection-readiness

Staff attendance, punctuality, substitution cover, safeguarding-training currency — all the data KHDA / DSIB inspections ask about, in one PDF.

UAE PDPL for child-adjacent data

Staff biometric and location data is consent-captured and encrypted. Records held only for the legally required retention window. No staff data ever shared with third-party AI providers.

UAE Labour Law for nursery workforces

Working-hour limits, weekly rest, EOSB gratuity. Calculator handles probation termination, mutual exit, and contract-end scenarios per current law.

Child-staff ratio reporting

Configurable per age band. Live and historical reports show ratios met across the operating day, with breach alerts for the supervisor.

Frequently asked questions

We have 18 staff — do we really need software?
Probably yes — not for the size, but for the audit trail. The KHDA / DSIB inspection asks for evidence: staff attendance, punctuality, ratios, training currency. A spreadsheet works until inspection week, then it does not. Free tier on CampusTrack covers nurseries up to 25 staff at no cost.
How does the ratio tracker work?
You configure the ratio per age band (e.g. 1:3 for infants, 1:8 for pre-K). When a staff member checks out, the system checks whether the remaining team can still cover the children currently on site. If not, the supervisor gets an immediate alert before the check-out completes.
Can we add safeguarding training records?
Yes. Each staff record has a training and certification log: safeguarding, paediatric first aid, food hygiene, police clearance, MOH-required certificates. Each has an expiry date; the system fires renewal reminders ahead of the deadline so nothing lapses.
What about drivers, kitchen, and admin staff?
All on one platform. Drivers check in from their phones at the depot or at the nursery on arrival; kitchen and admin check in like any other staff member. Different shift patterns and different leave entitlements are configurable per role.
Is it really free?
Yes — the Free tier covers up to 25 staff with the full feature set (face check-in, GPS, leave, reports, inspection PDFs). No time limit. No credit card required. Standard tier (AED-priced per active staff) kicks in above 25. Hosting included.
Can two branches share one account?
Yes — that is the multi-branch design. Each branch has its own GPS zone, its own shift patterns, and strict data isolation. Central management sees the group view; each branch lead sees only their own staff and children.
