Compliance isn’t a one-off checklist, it’s a process that needs structure.

Embed your processes and make them be seen everyday

If you run a nursery, you know the Single Central Record (SCR) isn’t just the heartbeat of your safer recruitment process.

It’s also the first thing Ofsted asks to see when they arrive.

But here’s the truth: most settings don’t actually have visibility of it until panic sets in. Someone opens a file named “SCR – latest FINAL v5” and hopes it’s accurate.

The real problem isn’t intent it’s visibility.

The difference between being compliant and being confident

Most nurseries care deeply about doing things right. Staff are DBS checked, references are collected, training is logged somewhere.

But when it comes to inspection time, everything relies on someone knowing where to find it, what’s missing, and what’s expired.

That’s the gap HeyEd was built to close.

Compliance shouldn’t depend on memory, paper folders, or well-meaning chaos. It should be structured, visible, and alive not static.

Structured visibility > reactive panic

When compliance lives in scattered folders or spreadsheets, you only ever find out about issues after they’ve become urgent.

When it’s structured by role, by venue, by document type you see your risks before Ofsted does.

With HeyEd, every staff member has a clear checklist tied to their role:

• Which documents are required (e.g. DBS, Right to Work, references, training).
• Which ones are uploaded and verified.
• Which ones are missing or due to expire.

And instead of waiting for inspection week to find out, managers see live compliance percentages for each venue giving leadership oversight, not hindsight.
