Nursery daily register template
A free printable daily register for a nursery room: each child, their key person, the time they arrived and left, and absences.
What's on it
Required by the EYFS paragraphs 3.104 (childminders 3.103, only when the key person is not the childminder)
- Each child cared for that day
- Their hours: time arrived and left
- Their key person
Good practice
- Absences: the reason, and who called whom and when
- Staff initials
What the EYFS asks for
The EYFS asks group settings to keep a daily record of the children being cared for, their hours of attendance and each child’s key person.

The same record, kept on the room’s device as you go, with nothing to print, file or chase.
- A tap per child as they arrive and leave.
- Each child’s key person is recorded for the day without anyone writing it.
- After your follow-up time, the room screen lists any child nobody has marked.
Every feature, free with one child, for as long as you like.
