Their management platform handled 90%. DullDocs handles the 10% it didn’t.
Fenwood House Limited is an established group of Early Years providers. Their management platform ran most of the day. Compliance was the part it left behind, and finding one tool that covered all of it took a year.

The challenge
Their management platform covers teaching and learning, child records, invoicing, HR and finance, and automates around 90% of their day-to-day operations. It did not cover compliance: the single central record, staff training, building compliance, food hygiene records and health and safety.
What they tried
Around 12 months of trialling compliance platforms. Some were restrictively expensive. Most covered only one area, such as the SCR or fire safety. None covered everything well.
“Some performed well but were restrictively expensive; some were a disaster.”
One setting first. Then all of them.
They trialled DullDocs in one of their settings, then rolled it out across all of them. DullDocs runs alongside their management platform rather than replacing it.
“As an established group of Early Years providers, we use a mainstream management platform for teaching and learning, child records, invoicing, HR and finance. It automates around 90% of our day-to-day operations.
The 10% it didn’t cover was compliance: Single Central Records, training, building compliance, food hygiene records and health and safety.
We spent around 12 months trialling compliance platforms. Some performed well but were restrictively expensive; some were a disaster. Most only covered one area, such as the SCR or fire safety. We couldn’t find one that covered everything, and covered it well.
Then we found DullDocs. It’s sensibly priced, fills every gap our management software leaves, and put simply, it works. We trialled it in one setting before rolling it out across all of them, and we would have no hesitation in recommending it.”
