Thanks for your help this morning Lisa.

Just wondering along the lines of duplicating info with siblings is there a way to generate one single invoice rather than 2 or 3 for parents?

I think with the Emergency Cover you would just leave the days and hours blank and when you do have them input via the child's profile, click (alternative rates) holidays and then section 2 - amended or additional hours days, that's how I've done a child I have on an ad-hoc basis. I would think that would work for Holiday Only children too!

Afternoon,

It would be fab if you could get in touch with the support team and book a call. Email them at support@nobleminder.co.uk.

They will be able to talk this over with you in a couple of minutes.

I am glad you are enjoying using the package.

Take care

Lisa

Hi,

Thanks for your ideas. Both of these are on the development schedule. Watch out for when they are live.

Thanks

Spot, on fab answer thank you.

. Holiday only children you could enter their hours and rates as what they do in the holidays and then set up a term time rate in the alternative rates and then apply that for each half term.

Does that make sense?

Thanks

Hi all,

I though you would be interested in this. The Child Care Company features Noble Minder in their Partner Spotlight.

Have a look. http://www.nobleminder.co.uk/news-detail.php?id=46

Have a fantastic weekend. Hope it's nice and sunny for you wherever you are.

Lisa

**Tinglesnark** · 25-03-2011, 06:40 PM

thank you, i had a good look around and worked it out - thats ace!
Thank you for your replies and for the email!

I did also ask whether or not there would be a way of synching the calendar on your pc or mobile with noble minder? that would be so helpful and would mean that i could use noble minder on the go!
(an IPhone app would be very exciting too!)

**Newbie1!** · 26-03-2011, 06:12 PM

Hia Lisa (and anyone else that may be reading and know the answer!!) Is there a facility anywhere to print off a birthday list at all? have just printed the menu planner and totally LOVE it!!! As well as printing off my calendar - am loving things so far

Hi

I think I spoke to you today about this?

Just incase it's not you, we will look at doing this for the iphone. Noble Minder works really well on the ipad and iphone we are just about to add an alternative to flash player. Then you will be able to do everything on the go.

Thanks

Hi

Oh no there isn’t, good idea I like it.

We will factor that in to our development. Watch out on the notifications for when it is live on the package.

Thanks for the idea, keep them coming that's what we love about our members, you keep us on our toes. I think the development team feels the same although their list just keeps getting longer.

Thanks

Lisa

Does that mean that parents can log on to your account to access the diaries when live, or would you have to email them?

Hi

Thank you for the question.

You can email all communication to parents, pre schools and other carers involved with the child.

You can also download all observation and Assessment records for each child to a disk for when you need to pass on the information with the child.

**noble76** · 30-03-2011, 08:34 AM

Good Morning,

I hope you are all well on this fine Wednesday morning.

I am here untill 1pm today, pop along and ask anything you would like to know.

The EYFS review that was conducted by Dame Clare Tickell has been published today read the full review at

http://media.education.gov.uk/assets...20learning.pdf

You might need to copy and paste the link. I won't put it in the forum as it is over 100 pages.

We are going to spend today going through the review. Our initial thoughts are that Noble Minder is in a perfect position to meet the new requirements. This is fantastic news for our members.

Enjoy the read.

Morning Lisa

There seems to be a glitch with the calendar today - it's showing March 2007, is it just me or is anyone else having this problem!

Hi,

Just been in to my account and it is showing it as March 2011.

Can you PM who you are, sorry I lose track of the names on here and who you all are.

We will then have a look at your account.

Thanks

Lisa
