Our Mission

At HubHello, we believe in protecting the innocence of children.

And we have an unwavering commitment to utilise sector expertise and innovation to make that possible.

Regardless of your position in your service - or services - we know that your focus is on enriching every child’s development in your care. That’s why we’ve developed these (rather nifty) evidence based tools for not only child education, but also child safety and health.

Hello youthful curiosity, you've come to a safe space.

"I can't thank you enough for continuing to support OOSH services in these strange and challenging times. I wouldn't use any other software nor recommend them and I've been in the industry since 1997. ''

"We have built with Educate a planning cycle that not only meets but exceeds the national expectations in Quality Area 1. Educate has also built a space for us to create shared decision making with families, share the day and the program."

Natalie van Twest

"We currently have 44 services and we used to spend the equivalent of 3 weeks work per year to edit the amounts to be debited from families. Dynamic iPay does it all automatically."

core FEATURES

Here are a few of our clients' favourite things.

Whether you operate a daycare, OSHC, preschool or family daycare, these features will have you singing Depeche Mode’s “I just can’t get enough, I just can’t get enough.” (*starts bobbing head*).

Paperless CCS integration and automated invoicing

As a web based, registered CCS compliant child care management program, HubWorks enables you to go completely paperless and continue to meet your Child Care Subsidy obligations.

That’s no more manually editing and printing statements, receipts or enrolment forms. HubWorks will also automatically create invoices for you including CCS estimates (thanks to our handy daycare invoice software and inbuilt childcare subsidy calculator).

Online and fully integrated waitlist, enrolment and casual booking forms

Integrated paperless forms may just be the best thing since sliced bread (hear us out). Parents can provide (and update) their information 24/7 and once you are ready to move a child from the waitlist to an enrollment, it takes a simple click with no manual data entry needed. (Giving you more time to hang out with the forever stylish sliced bread)

Once you have enrolled children into your service, if you provide Vacation Care or would like to give parents the opportunity to book their child/ren for casual care, this can all be done online via our BookMe feature.

Using BookMe you can:

  • Customise your bookings, including any upfront payments required or cut off dates 
  • Create bookings upfront and publish later
  • Accept online bookings without exceeding your daily ratios - everything is automatically synced with your HubWorks settings

Electronic sign in and real time updates

With our real time daycare sign in software you can report in (you guessed it) real time on children and staffing numbers across different rooms, groups and services (if you operate multiple services).

As electronic sign in is completely integrated with HubWorks, you can automatically capture exact attendance times and mark absent children - saving you that hassle at the end of each week of manually reconciling unmarked roles. Additionally if a parent misses signing their child/ren in or out one day or their child/ren are absent, the parents will also be prompted to confirm these details the next time they sign in.

Online Parent portal and mobile app

Providing parents with a convenient and efficient way to interact with your service is key to reducing unnecessary back and forth (or round and round) conversations. That’s why the HubHello platform includes a fully integrated parent portal (web and mobile app) for parents to update their details, pay online, book into care and respond to news and gallery images you send to them.

Communication

Parents can log in at any time and receive immediate push notifications regarding news your service publishes, photos from your gallery, observations, cycle of planning and program plans you are running and menus you are serving.

Parents can also provide feedback on gallery images, observations and program plans and notes you chose to share with families, which is a great way to increase family participation.

Account management

Parents can check their booked sessions, see account balances, create and pay invoices, book and pay for additional care and obtain the latest Government information such as CCS%, absences and eligible hours.

The online enrolment form is also available for parents to update at their convenience, any updates are sent through as an alert to notify your service.

Integrated program planning, cycle of planning and observations

Need to create an individual or group cycle of planning? (tick), what about individual or group observations? (tick, tick) - and then link these all together? (tickedy, tick tick!)

Educate’s integrated platform enables you to seamlessly toggle between cycle of planning, program planning and observations, with the ability to:

- Create documentation for individuals, rooms or groups

- Change date and time of documentation

- Set duration of programs

- Create a draft and publish later

- Attach photos, videos and any relevant documents

- Assign program goals

- Link observations to cycle of planning and to easily show a full cycle to an assessor

- Add in written observations, interpretations, evidence and assessment of learning

- Link to Pedagogical documentation (EYLF, MTOP, NQF standards, theorists and service policies and philosophies)

- Optionally choose to share with parents (via web and mobile parent portal)

Real time automation and machine learning

From automatically calculating fluctuating CCS to alerting you in real-time if your recipes are meeting Australian Dietary Guidelines - the HubHello platform is kitted out with some swagger technology.

iPay Dynamic (direct debit) - Automatic calculation includes your set billing frequency, increased or reduced days of attendance, and changes to a family's CCS subsidy.

feedAustralia’s fully integrated meal planning tool - A real time assessment of your planned menus against nutrient, energy and serving size data. The tool also enables you to auto generate shopping lists on the fly and complete your online grocery order.

Safe risk prediction rating - Safe uses machine learning and language processing technology to analyse each Safe assessment and provide a risk prediction rating for each child. Each assessment is analysed from a data set of over 230,000 children nationwide.

Enterprise/Multi service dashboards

HubHello offers multi service providers a series of dashboards, providing you with high level data and granular reports across HubWorks, Educate, feedAustralia and Safe.

The dashboard provides real time financial and operational data across all of your distributed services. You can also manage waitlists, parent communication and staffing privileges directly from the dashboard.

Lastly, enterprise level staff management, privileges and audits are available across all the dashboards for senior members of your team to access.
