Our verdict on NobiNobi
NobiNobi is open-source childcare management software for nurseries and kindergartens. It brings child records, photos, parent and emergency contacts, groups, reference educator assignments, attendance, daily care records, medication reminders, observations, meal planning, staff information, and statistics into a web-based system. Its strongest fit is for small teams that need structured records for everyday childcare operations, rather than a broad administrative suite.
The published plans show a free Gratuit option with manual installation and source-code access. The Professionnel plan costs €50 per month and adds installation, hosting, and email support. An annual Professionnel plan costs €500 per year and includes two months free alongside installation, hosting, and email support. Professionnel Plus adds custom installation and configuration, hosting, email and phone support, data import, and specific training. This gives teams a choice between managing the installation themselves and paying for hosted support.
NobiNobi’s standout strength is the depth of its daily care records. Staff can track meals, changing, care activities, medication reminders, prescription photos, chronological observations, and attendance or occupancy statistics, while also managing meal plans by age group or classroom. The interface is designed for computers, tablets, and smartphones, but the product is web-based rather than delivered through native mobile apps. Teams seeking open-source control and practical attendance and care workflows should consider it; organizations that require native mobile apps or a wider focus on functions such as billing, family communication, or lesson planning should look elsewhere.
