## Reviews

### "Fantastic time saver" — 5.0/5

> **Denise** | *04 September 2018* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It covers all aspects of programming required of our Early years educators, it sets up reminders so that no aspect is forgotten.
> 
> **Cons**: Haven't found much I don't like yet with the system. maybe an online manual for those like me that have to train new staff in the use of it so that i don't forget parts.
> 
> We have been working with it now for just on a year and i have had experience with 3 other programs previously. It not only runs rings around the other programs with functionality, but it is easy to use. My senior educators that have been in the industry like myself for long periods of time have been able to get around it with minimal support and training. And training has been fantastic. one on one and group and they answer the phone all the time. I Love it
