It helps you streamline communication, enabling your setting to boost partnerships and collaboration with ease. Fully integrated with our playworker app, Playground, the free Home wraparound care app for families offers unparalleled convenience. You can enjoy swift and hassle-free communications, digital sign-ins, attendance tracking, secure payments, easy bookings and health event monitoring.
Seamless child check-in
With Home, tedious sign-in sheets are a thing of the past. Playworkers can effortlessly check children in and out with just a few taps on their mobile device. Attendance tracking is a secure and encrypted process, ensuring the utmost accuracy and safety of data. It gives you confidence that each authorised individual responsible for dropping off or picking up a child is accurately recorded. Home’s intuitive interface makes it effortless for families to monitor their children’s attendance and time spent in care.
Capture and share precious moments
Give families a window into their child’s world with photos and videos shared from the Playground app to Home. Spark joy and build trust by sharing those heartwarming moments of growth and discovery with families. Effectively fostering connections at every interaction, our system ensures that no precious moments go unnoticed throughout the day. Since the Playground-Home app integration makes sharing every child’s milestone effortless, playworkers and carers have more time for nurturing each child individually.

Flexible payment solutions
Empower families with the convenience of on-the-go payments and bookings. Families can enjoy the flexibility of viewing statements and setting up their preferred payment methods, including automated credit card payments.
Xplor Pay streamlines the payment process and eliminates the hassle of handling cash or cheques. You can offer parents a secure, electronic payment option for wraparound care fees. Your setting can rest assured that Xplor Pay’s automated reminders via SMS, email or in-app notifications help ensure families stay on top of their payments and that no payments are missed. Using the Home app, families can quickly browse availability and make bookings, including casual ones, directly from their mobile devices.
Real-time communication with families via Messenger
Nurture trust and build strong relationships through real-time communication with parents/guardians using the Home app’s integrated Messenger feature. It ensures families you’re always just a message away, ready to answer questions or share updates promptly.
In addition to commenting on shared observations, with Messenger, families can communicate directly with playworkers. Messenger also enables playworkers to contact families with urgent questions when a phone call might not be ideal. This helps you continue to foster constant and meaningful interactions with families.

Effortlessly track your safeguarding efforts
Experience the ease of transparent safeguarding tracking, assuring families their child’s wellbeing is considered every step of the way. Home enables families to easily monitor their child’s health and safety throughout the day via updates from the Playground platform. Your setting can also keep parents/guardians updated with incident reports and notifications about administered medicine, guaranteeing they’re always in the loop.
