MinderVault: Childminder

MinderVault is the private, offline-first record book made for independent childminders in England. No parent portal. No account. No MinderVault cloud. Keep the records that matter during a busy day, see gaps while they can still be fixed, and organise everyday evidence without building a second job out of paperwork. DAILY RECORDS THAT WORK • Sign children in and out with exact times • Record notified or unexplained absences and follow-up attempts • See live ratio prompts that include your own children and eligible assistants • Add meals, drinks, nappies, toileting, activities and screen use for one or several children • Start sleep records, log frequent checks and record safer-sleep arrangements HEALTH, WELFARE AND SAFEGUARDING • Capture written medicine permission, each administration and parent handover • Keep accidents, existing injuries, illness, choking, near misses and safeguarding concerns distinct • Mark the affected area on a body map • Use a focused Parent Review Mode for signatures without exposing the rest of your vault • Keep safeguarding concerns out of parent exports LEARNING WITHOUT EXCESSIVE PAPERWORK • Write concise observations and optional next steps • Link any of the seven EYFS learning areas and characteristics of effective learning • Prepare the written progress check between ages two and three READY FOR REVIEWS AND INSPECTIONS • Track PFA, insurance, DBS, registration, ICO and other renewal dates • Attach certificate or policy PDFs and images inside the encrypted vault • Record complaints and their 28-day response deadline • Keep risk assessments, emergency drills, visitors and improvement actions together • Use Inspection Mode to organise records by evaluation area • Create a professional PDF index or a child dossier for a parent PRIVATE BY DESIGN Records are AES-GCM encrypted on your device.
