Built in Algeria
By a local team, with local payment methods and prices in dinars and euros.
English, French, Arabic
The whole app in three languages, with a true right-to-left layout for Arabic.
Child data protected by design
Each role sees only what it needs; health data and photos follow strict rules.
Phone, tablet, computer
A web app: nothing to install, and educators use the phone in their pocket.
Running a childcare centre shouldn't mean running spreadsheets
Most nurseries still work from paper registers, Excel files and group chats. It holds together, until the day someone needs an answer fast.
Information everywhere
Children's files in a cabinet, allergies on a note, phone numbers in someone's phone. Nobody has the full picture.
Roll call on paper
Registers filled in by hand, totals added up at night, and no quick way to know who has not arrived yet.
The same data typed again and again
A new child is written on the form, in the register, in the Excel sheet and in the class list.
Gaps between the team
The morning educator knows the child slept badly; the afternoon one does not. Information stays with whoever wrote it down.
No view of the day
Directors and owners find out about absences, capacity and missing documents too late, or by walking around.
Photos and data in group chats
Pictures of children shared in chat groups, with no control over who sees what, and no consent tracked.
One place for the whole day
Clever Nursery brings the day together
Every child, family, classroom and team member in one app, so the information is entered once and reaches the right people.
The day, in real time
Roll call, meals, naps, diapers, activities and tasks, recorded as they happen.
Protected by design
Roles, permissions and child-data rules enforced by the server, not just hidden in the screen.
Local habits, global reach
Three languages, your currency and timezone, and nothing hard-coded to one country.
Simple to start
A free plan, an Excel or CSV import you can undo, and no installation.

Built for everyone involved in childcare
Owners, directors, administrators and educators each get the tools they need, and only the data their role allows.
For owners
Too much depends on paper, memory and a few key people.
One organised system for the whole nursery, with clear roles and your data under your control.
Solutions for ownersFor directors
The day is managed by walking around and asking.
Live attendance, capacity per classroom, staff and records in one app.
Solutions for directorsFor administrators
The same information is typed into several documents.
Online pre-registration, a real waiting list and records entered once.
Solutions for administratorsFor educators
Registers and care notebooks take time away from the children.
Roll call and daily care in a few taps, from a phone.
Solutions for educatorsFor multi-site groups
Each site has its own files, habits and spreadsheets.
One app and one subscription for all your sites.
Solutions for groupsBy type of setting
Parents are not users you pay for: they are always free. Clever Nursery helps your team give families clear, accurate information today, and the parent portal shows them their children's day.
How to get started
Setting up is designed to take an afternoon, and everything can be changed later in the settings.
Create your nursery
Sign up, then enter a few essentials: name, country, language, currency and timezone. Age sections are created for you.
Bring in your children and families
Import your lists from Excel or CSV, check the preview, and undo the import if something looks wrong. Or add them one by one.
Invite your team
Send invitations by email or a shareable link, with the right role for each person: director, administrator, educator or accountant.
Run the day
Educators take the roll call and record daily care from their phone; you see the day as it happens.
Designed for the classroom, not only the office
Educators work with children in their arms. Attendance and daily care are built for a phone held in one hand.
- Check in a whole classroom at once, then correct the exceptions.
- Record one meal or nap for several children in a single entry.
- At check-out, pick from the people allowed to collect the child.
- Each entry is either shared with the family or kept for the team.

Security and trust
Children's data deserves more than a password
Clever Nursery was built around the sensitive nature of childcare data. These rules are enforced by the server for every request.
Access by role
Director, administrator, educator, accountant: each role sees only what it needs. Educators see only their own classrooms.
Health data kept private
Allergies and health information are never shown to accountants.
Photos follow consent
A family never receives a photo of another child without that child's photo consent.
Each nursery is sealed off
Your data is invisible to every other nursery, and this is tested automatically on every route.
Strong sign-in
Two-factor authentication and passkeys are available for every account.
Your data stays yours
Export any list, and download a full backup of your nursery at any time (director only).
Built in Algeria. Ready for the world.

Three languages, done properly
French, Arabic and English everywhere in the app, with a real right-to-left layout.
Local ways to pay
Subscribe in dinars with CIB, Edahabia, BaridiMob, CCP or bank transfer, or in euros by card.

Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about the product, pricing and data.
What is childcare management software?
Childcare management software is an application that replaces the paper registers, spreadsheets and notebooks used to run a nursery, crèche, daycare or kindergarten. It records attendance, daily care, children's and families' information, admissions and staff in one place. Clever Nursery is childcare management software that does this in English, French and Arabic, on phones, tablets and computers.
Who is Clever Nursery for?
Clever Nursery is for nurseries, crèches, daycares, kindergartens and preschools, from small home-based settings to groups with several sites. Inside each nursery it is used by directors, administrators, educators and accountants, each with their own access.
Is Clever Nursery suitable for small nurseries?
Yes. The free plan covers up to 8 children and 3 staff members with no time limit, and the Starter plan includes 21 children and 8 staff. There is nothing to install and setup is short.
Is there a free trial?
There is something simpler: a free plan with no time limit, for up to 8 children and 3 staff members, with no card needed. You can use it as long as you like and upgrade when you need more.
Can multiple staff members use Clever Nursery?
Yes. You invite your team by email or with a shareable link and give each person a role: director, administrator, educator or accountant. Everyone works in the same nursery at the same time, and each role only sees what it needs.
Does Clever Nursery support Arabic?
Yes. The whole app is available in Arabic with a proper right-to-left layout, as well as in French and English. Each person can use the language they prefer.
How is children's data protected?
Access is based on roles and enforced by the server: educators see only their classrooms, accountants never see health data, a family never receives another child's photo without consent, and a guardian without custody receives nothing. Each nursery's data is isolated from all others, and accounts can use two-factor authentication or passkeys.
Can I import my existing data?
Yes. You can import children, families, staff, classrooms and more from CSV (all plans) or Excel (paid plans), with column mapping in three languages, a preview, duplicate detection and the option to undo an import.
How much does Clever Nursery cost?
There is a free plan. Paid plans start at DZD 2,900 or €39 per month (Starter), then DZD 5,900 or €79 (Standard) and DZD 12,900 or €149 (Pro). Paying yearly counts 10 months instead of 12. Enterprise is priced on request.
How do I get started?
