Simply more than just
a daycare app

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.

FAQ: mantau for nurseries and kindergartens

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
