Today, daycare centres have to function like small businesses. In addition to their actual task, the educational work with children, a daycare centre has to deal with a lot of administrative and bureaucratic tasks.
These groups expect the process to run smoothly: Daycare centre management, teachers, parents, parents' groups, providers and others. It therefore requires well-functioning communication and clever organisation.

As a daycare centre, we were looking for a suitable communication platform for parents, educators, the team and the provider for a long time. We found all this in mantau! The APP is ‘child's play’.
Thanks to the quick help and good co-operation with EXEC, problems and stumbling blocks are solved in a solution-oriented manner. Now we have more time for the important things again: PLAYING, LAUGHING, SINGING + EXPLORING WITH OUR KITA KIDS!
Mrs Selina Fetz
Kita Pusteblume, Höhr-Grenzhausen, mantau coordinator
We now have tablets and smartphones in every children's group.
mantau ensures that information is passed on reliably and at short notice. Because things usually have to happen quickly, e.g. when a message arrives in the morning before the start and we have to reorganise quickly.
It was very important to me that it could be customised to our daycare centre. And that I was able to set it up myself - without IT specialists - in a short space of time.
Everyone involved gains time and can devote it better to working with the children.
Relieve staff
Organisational tasks and communication are simplified, unnecessary effort is eliminated.
Comply with specifications
Specifications, regulations and processes can be easily adhered to and documented.

Joining other people's groups is always free of charge. All you need to do is register in the app or web version. You can also use mantau free of charge with your own small groups of up to 10 members, e.g. your team or family and friends.
Also ideal for testing!
All functions are available in the free mantau 10. And if you later purchase a license for your organization or company, you can "integrate" your existing groups.
mantau can be used as a nursery app for childcare centres. The platform is used to organise and digitise communication between management, nursery staff and parents. Information, appointments and groups are organised centrally on a single platform.
For which nurseries is mantau suitable as a nursery app?
mantau is suitable for nurseries, crèches, after-school clubs and organisations running multiple groups or sites. The platform is suitable for both small facilities and larger organisations with many facilities and teams.
How does mantau improve communication in daycare centers?
mantau organises communication into clear group structures, for example by nursery group or facility. This ensures that information is distributed specifically to parents and staff without the need to organise it via private messaging apps or unstructured email distribution lists.
Can Mantau be used as an alternative to WhatsApp in nurseries?
Yes. mantau can be used as a structured alternative to WhatsApp groups in nurseries. Communication takes place within closed groups, meaning that sensitive information does not have to be exchanged via private messaging services.
What benefits does mantau offer for communication with parents in nurseries?
Parents receive information directly from their child’s nursery group, for example regarding dates, events or organisational matters. Communication is centralised and can be traced at any time, ensuring that important messages do not get lost in chat histories.
How does mantau support the organisation of groups and children?
Nurseries can organise groups in a structured way, for example, crèche groups, nursery groups or project groups. Information, dates and messages are specifically assigned to these groups and are only seen by the relevant people.
Is mantau, the nursery app, GDPR-compliant?
Yes. mantau complies with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The platform is operated in Germany and uses secure data centres for the storage and processing of data. This makes mantau suitable for use with sensitive personal data in the education sector.
Is it possible to manage several facilities belonging to the same organisation?
Yes. Operating organisations can manage multiple nurseries and facilities on a single platform. Each facility can be organised independently, whilst centralised structures for cross-organisational communication and administration remain in place.
Which solutions and tools does mantau replace in nursery schools?
mantau can replace various individual solutions in nurseries, including WhatsApp groups, email distribution lists, paper notices, physical noticeboards and separate calendar systems. Communication, appointments, groups and documents are all brought together on a single central platform.
Why is a well-organised nursery app a good idea?
A well-structured nursery app improves clarity and reduces the administrative burden of communication. Information is distributed in a targeted manner, stored in a traceable way and can be accessed at any time by authorised personnel. This creates a clearer and more secure communication structure in the day-to-day running of the nursery.
