"Enjoyable and Easy"

Kommentare: As a user of this, i find it simple and easy to use. Im able to sign in before i reach the door, i can check my details and update and add bookings simply and easily. Was hesitant at first thinking it was going to be complicated but its turned out to be really easy and simple to use and im so glad for that because these days, time is essential and it makes it a quick and simple task to do.

Vorteile: As a user of this, i find it simple and easy to use. Im able to sign in before i reach the door, i can check my details and update and add bookings in a user friendly, simplified app.

Nachteile: A few teething glitches to begin with, was unable to understand the statements section until i asked someone else to explain the different sections and how to read them easier.

"Xplor versus ??????"

Kommentare: Ease of inking information
Not having have cupboards and files of papers

Vorteile: Xplor is easy to use
Accounts and observation and planning are all under one program
Can use multi media devices to use. Bit restricted to just the computer
Can provide a snap shit and come back later and expand
Parents have instant snap shots if there child day. Throughout the day

Nachteile: For me it’s the distance. I’m in Western Australia and Its difficult to have a face to face chat and training
Everything is done on line

"There is a frustration at the educators level in using this system."

Vorteile: I am open to trying anything new. I feel that at the educator on the floor level it is not that easy to use. There is no template to write observations in. It should have a place for analysis of learning . the look of the system is friendly, the rostering is good. We print out emergency contact lists but cant do it on here. we also have reports (age of children) that we use but cant do it on here. The excell format isnt always able to give us an easy report. Perhaps have a choice of a data sheet.

Nachteile: Sign in and out notifications you have to scroll through puts parents off and also you have to scroll through them all to find observations. Not easy to give admin permission for room leaders on the floor they need to be able to access and publish their staffs observations. We call them learning stories you call them observations. The live programming feature is only available via lap top . You have to select individual parents if posting something to one room and not the whole service. Observations are lost if saved and then re-edited. I cant load PDF to admin posts for flyers and invitations. Colour coding for signing in is green no Colour for having been signed out. We need to have a quick reference as to who is signed in and out all day. Notifications of parent observations/input too hard to find. Admin needs to have control in all areas that educators use. Including being advised that a parent has posted something.
Most of our staff use IPADS. There has been some issues.

"Love the App"

Kommentare: Haven't had any problems, pretty easy to use. Just the account area could be improved and would love email

Vorteile: Easy to use, pretty self explanatory and love you can book extra days on the app.

Nachteile: I think the accounts area could be improved and would love daily emails with photos and their day to day updates.

"Fantastic for a Pre-school (non Long Day Care/Approved Care)"

Kommentare: Fantastic staff, assistance, help and easy to use!

Vorteile: I love that it can be tailored to suit our non-profit, Community Pre-school - we are not long day care, nor family care and do not have an CCB receipting or need to report to the Govt so we needed a "different" type of software for our needs.

Nachteile: I think it would have been good to have onboarding/webinars with someone who is more knowledgeable on a Pre-school's needs, rather than an overall approved care needs.
