OSCARS (Out of School Administration and Reporting Software) is a software management system specifically designed to suit the requirements of busy out of school clubs with one or many settings.

OSCARS has been developed by nursery management software specialists Connect Technology, in partnership with the Out of School Alliance, to ensure that all aspects of running a busy out of school club are covered.

OSCARS uses the very latest in internet technologies so that you can securely view and manage the data from any PC with an internet connection. So whether you are on site at your club, or at home in the evening, you can still access your data.

Key benefits of the system:

• Keep all of your data in one place: registers, child records, invoicing and staff records
• All your data is connected so if you book in an extra session for a child, the appropriate register and invoice will update automatically
• Generate daily or weekly registers at the click of a button
• Instantly check availability on specific days
• Automated invoice runs
• Send invoices via email or by letter
• Check outstanding invoices at a glance
• Easily set up payment plans and record ad hoc payments
• Monitor occupancy levels and staff ratios
• Quickly pull up reports (eg all children who can have photographs taken, all staff who have attended training, etc)
• Send automated text messages to parents/carers (small additional fee)
• Take payments by direct debit (small additional fee)
