Weighing up Tot Tracker and CrecheHQ for your childcare setting? Here's an honest look at how they compare, and who each one suits best.
Book a DemoCrecheHQ is built from the ground up for Irish crèches, with a strong focus on Tusla audit trails, ratios and operational tooling. Tot Tracker shares that Irish-first, compliance-led design and pairs it with a fully digital family-data lifecycle and 0% Direct Debit.
Both are serious Irish products, so it comes down to where you want the depth: operational/transport tooling versus the enrolment and care-plan workflow and included payments.
you want digital enrolment and care plans that pre-fill and refresh, payments included at 0%, and a single all-in price, with strong Irish compliance throughout.
your priority is transport/GPS manifests and very granular operational tooling, and you'll evaluate payments and enrolment separately.
