It all started in 1996 with the transformation of an old dolls museum in Hampshire into PiXieS Day Nursery, my main desire being to provide quality and affordable childcare for all those who needed it. I investigated numerous management packages available on the market and found none of them allowed me the flexibility required to run my nursery the way I wanted to. I decided to look for a solution. After months of hard work PiXieS was up and running and my husband and I set about creating the PiXieS Nursery Management System with the aim of saving time, money and resources. Long story short it evolved into what is today Nursery-Net, a secure system created for nursery nurses, by nursery nurses. 18 months and more hard work later we set up the second PiXieS nursery, which established quickly and has become as successful as the first. I found the efficiencies Nursery Net created gave me an advantage in an increasingly competitive market. Other nurseries in the area wondered why we were always full, had an excellent reputation and never needed to advertise. Ask my staff today how the nursery would run without Nursery Net and they will tell you that they would need more staff, more admin assistants and could simply not do their job. They joined a childcare profession to look after and care for children, not to be stuck in an office completing endless administrative tasks. After several successful years I decided to allow the package to be sold to other nurseries. Since then Nursery Net has been sold to over 70 customers and 100 nursery settings. Most importantly NN is still used every day at PiXieS and is every bit as important now as it was then. Marina |
