Kalendit team reviews the big successes of 2025 including nation-wide expansion, AI-deployment to all aspects of operations and the creation of an AI-powered rota for nurseries. Proud of having enrolled 50 new nurseries and helping them fill staffing gaps and boosting occupancy levels by welcoming more families.

Compliance, Safeguarding, Quality Insurance can make or break your business. Kalendit’s advanced technology can help you stay on top, stress-free.

The nurseries that thrive through the seasonal staffing challenges use Kalendit to work smarter, planning ahead with long-term bookings of their favourite educators to ensure consistency, using the app for instant emergency bookings and trialing educators on a temp basis before moving to permanent employment, risk-free.

Kalendit: Technology-powered staffing solutions designed by early years professionals, for early years professionals. We use technology to help you manage staffing seamlessly while cutting costs and improving compliance.

Here's where Kalendit truly differs: you can set maximum rates for emergency bookings so that even your 6:30 AM crisis doesn't become a financial catastrophe.

Decide in advance what you're willing to pay for last-minute cover. When emergencies happen (and they will), you'll get qualified educators at rates you've already budgeted for.

Your crisis. Your rates. Your control.

At Kalendit, we've built our platform around one core principle: nurseries shouldn't have to chase staff—staff should come to them. Our technology-first approach transforms emergency bookings from a crisis into a manageable process.

Vetting Nursery Workers: Here's what's really required (and what Ofsted is actually looking for in terms of suitability checks, Safeguarding rules and best practices).

At Kalendit, we’ve reimagined compliance for Early Years staffing. Our platform doesn’t just automate vetting for our own supply educators—it also empowers nurseries to manage compliance for their own bank staff, all in one place.

Kalendit is not a staffing agency, it is a technology enabling platform connecting nurseries with fully vetted educators. Kalendit empowers nurseries and educators who can decide their own terms so that everyone wins. Nurseries have control over their spending and educators are better valued and respected via fair pay.

England's strict staff ratios already disadvantage UK nurseries compared to international peers. Over-hiring compounds this burden, creating a vicious cycle: high costs force high fees, making childcare unaffordable and reducing demand.

The 30 hours free childcare policy isn't inherently flawed. The problem lies in the execution and the underlying staffing issues that prevent nurseries from delivering what families need. Kalendit is committed to being part of the solution
