KashFlow + Nurseries & Childcare: Faster Bank Import
Nurseries manage parent fee payments, government funding allocations, staff wages, and supplier costs — often across multiple accounts. If you use KashFlow for your accounting, you need a fast way to get bank statement data into the system.
BankScan AI for Nurseries & Childcare Using KashFlow
BankScan AI converts any bank statement PDF to CSV formatted for direct import into KashFlow. Convert bank statements to spreadsheets to reconcile parent payments against invoices, track government childcare funding, and manage supplier costs.
The Nurseries & Childcare + KashFlow Workflow
Nursery owners collect fees from parents via standing order or childcare vouchers, receive government-funded hours payments from the local authority, pay staff wages (their largest cost), and manage food, supplies, and premises expenses. Bank statements must be reconciled to track which parents have paid, verify local authority funding received, and ensure staff payroll has cleared.
Key terms you'll encounter: funded hours, childcare vouchers, Tax-Free Childcare, occupancy rate.
