Policies, risk assessments, observations and compliance paperwork generated for your setting, mapped to the correct UK guidance, so you can spend less time on paperwork and more time with children.
Built by a working registered childminder, from real inspection and paperwork experience.
7-day free trial · Founding Member £15/month · No setup fees · Cancel any timeMore inspections. More paperwork. More changing guidance. More pressure on providers. You became an early years practitioner because you care about children, not because you wanted to spend your evenings on compliance forms. Generic tools were never designed with childcare in mind. Clariti was built by registered childcare professionals to reduce the compliance burden without reducing your standards.
I am Douglas Laing, a registered childminder operating in partnership with my wife Debbie in West Lothian, Scotland. I built Clariti because I experienced the paperwork burden firsthand. Evenings lost to documentation. Uncertainty about whether documents would stand up to inspection. Constant changes with no notification.
Clariti is not built by a software company that consulted a few practitioners. It is built by someone who still does the job, understands the inspection frameworks, and knows exactly what inspectors look for.
You enter information once. Clariti does the rest.
A complete digital file for each child, covering registration details, emergency contacts, medical information, dietary needs, permissions and developmental records. Linked directly to your service register so information is never entered twice.
Write what you saw. Clariti generates a complete, professional observation record across four pillars: Learning and Development, Wellbeing, Quality and Rights. Each pillar maps automatically to the correct frameworks and legislation for your nation. Review it, sign it, save it.
Create detailed individual care plans for every child in your setting, covering development, wellbeing, behaviour and any specific support needs. Linked to the child's file and updated whenever their needs change.
Capture what children are curious about and what you have heard from them. Clariti generates the planning sections around your observations, covering home link activities, responsive and intentional learning, and experiences and outcomes.
Answer a few questions about how your setting actually operates. Clariti writes a complete, inspection-ready policy from your answers, referencing the correct legislation for your nation, with version control, a named approver and a staff acknowledgement table built in. Over 20 policies available at launch, covering operational, pedagogical and HR categories.
Create and store risk assessments for indoor spaces, outdoor areas, outings, activities and specific hazards. Clariti prompts you through each assessment systematically and flags when reviews are due, so nothing is missed before an inspection visit.
Record and track qualifications, registration requirements where applicable, first aid certificates and CPD. Renewal alerts mean nothing lapses, and everything is ready when inspectors ask to see it.
A live register of all children using your service, covering attendance, funded hours, start and end dates. Linked to each child's file so information is always current and never duplicated.
Every completed observation, policy review, risk assessment and training update automatically contributes to your self-evaluation evidence. Live gap indicators show you exactly where your evidence is strong and where it needs attention, so you are never caught out before an inspection.
Technology should support practitioners, not replace their professional judgement. Every document Clariti helps create carries a practitioner declaration confirming the content reflects their own observations. Every AI-assisted section is clearly identified. Because the person who was in the room is the only one who truly knows what happened there.
Every generated document includes a declaration that the content accurately reflects the practitioner's own professional judgement.
A mandatory review step on every observation and plan. The practitioner reads, edits and confirms before anything is finalised.
Where Clariti suggests content for a blank field, it is visibly identified as a Clariti suggestion. Practitioners always know what they wrote and what was generated.
Every generated policy must be reviewed and approved by a named manager. High-risk policies carry an explicit recommendation for professional review before adoption.
Your registered postcode determines your nation. Clariti applies the correct frameworks and legislation automatically. Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland, all covered from day one.

Observations are at the heart of everything inspectors assess. Most childminders write what they saw. Few include what separates a compliant observation from one that stops an inspector in their tracks.
Our complete UK guide covers what an observation is, what it must include, what inspectors look for across all four nations, and the elements that elevate a good observation to an exceptional one, including framework references, UNCRC links, next steps, and the child's own voice.
Read the complete observations guide →Most childminders have policies. Few have policies that would fully stand up to inspection. Outdated legislation references, generic templates, language the practitioner cannot explain, and no cross-references between documents.
Our complete UK guide covers what policies you need, what inspectors actually check, the five mistakes that let childminders down, and what a policy set that genuinely reflects your setting and your nation looks like.
Read the complete policies guide →Written once and forgotten. Not reviewed when conditions change. Generic templates that describe someone else's setting. No dynamic risk assessment element for the variables that cannot be predicted in advance.
Our complete UK guide covers what assessments you need, what a complete assessment contains, the seven mistakes inspectors find every time, and the dynamic risk assessment approach that separates confident practitioners from those hoping for the best.
