When a change needs to be made to an enrolment, you'll often need to amend the contract. Now you can edit an existing contract right in the app, without re-entering all those details you've already saved.
What you can update
You can change the weekly care schedule, adjust your rates and fees, or switch the contract type. This includes moving to or from funded hours or student finance, or changing between standard and flexible contracts.
The app carries over the guardian and child details from the original contract, so you won't need to enter them again. If the child is using funding, you'll be prompted to enter the funding code and guardian's National Insurance number to check eligibility.
When to update the contract
Some changes can be made in the child's care schedule, whereas others require a contract amendments. Here's a quick-reference guide:
What you want to do | How to do it |
Change hours for one specific day | Edit schedule → One off |
Change regular weekly hours permanently | Edit schedule → Ongoing change |
Add a new regular day | Add schedule on that day → Ongoing change |
Remove a regular day permanently | Edit schedule → remove sessions → Ongoing change |
Switch to funded hours or change contract type | Update the contract from the child's profile |
Update your rates or fees | Add your new rates to your Business Settings, then update the contract from the child's profile |
How to update a contract
From your Home Screen, tap the + in the top right corner, then click Start a new contract.
From there, click Edit an existing contract.
Select the child whose contract you'd like to update.
You can leave the contract at any time and the app will save your progress.
How do I find a contract I've started?
If you've started a contract but haven't finished signing it, tap into the Children tab. Then tap the Contracts in progress card at the top. This shows all your incomplete contracts - just tap the one you need.
What happens next
Once you’ve signed the updated contract, it’s sent to the guardian to sign, just like when you create a new contract. They’ll also be asked to check their child passport details. When the guardian signs, the new schedule is updated automatically.
Any drafted or unpaid invoices from the contract start date onward will be automatically updated with the new schedule and fees.
Need something the app doesn't cover?
If there's something you'd like to include that isn't available in the contract builder, you can let us know about any extra requirements at the end. Submit these for our team to review, and we'll create a manual contract for you where needed. This may take a few days to process.
Please see our article here for guidance on these additional requirements.
