Child Data Form

The Child Data Form report shows the details held for each child, including contact details for their parents/carer and any doctors' details that may have been added. This report is useful as it allows you to share the details you hold with a child's parents/carers to ensure they are up to date. 

Please note: All of the information included in the Child Data Form can also be reviewed and updated by parents/carers through our Parent Portal app to save you having to print out this report.

To view the Child Data Form, do the following:

1.  Click on the Reports button and select 'Children'. 
    This will display the Reports Menu page:

4.  Select a room from the dropdown list.
   
5.  By default you will see a list of all registered children; if you want to include children who are currently on your waiting list, select the 'Waiting' checkbox. 
   
6.  Choose if you want to print a data form for all children in the room, or for selected children. 'All Children' will be selected by default. 
   
7.  If you only want to include specific children, ensure the 'Select Children' option is selected and then click on the checkboxes next to the names of the children you want to run the report for.
