Xplor Education review
A broad childcare suite for Australian providers spanning operations, learning and family engagement.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Xplor Education is a childcare management suite for early childhood education and care providers, including single-centre, multi-centre, OSHC and kindergarten services. Its coverage spans child enrolment, digital forms, attendance, bookings, family messaging, billing, payments, learning documentation, health and safety tracking, reporting and compliance data management. Office supports administration and CCS management; Playground focuses on learning documentation, digital attendance and educator tools; Home supports families with bookings, payments and digital sign-in/out; and MyWaitlist handles pre-enrolment leads and waitlists.
Pricing is freemium, with a free plan available. The published starting price is AUD 58 per month, excluding GST, for the lowest-priced core product shown, Playground. The OSHC Package combines Office, Playground and Home App, while the Xplor One Premium Package adds MyWaitlist to those core products. Office, Playground, Home and MyWaitlist are also presented as separate products, allowing providers to structure coverage around administration, educators, families and enrolment. Single Sign On adds centralised access management, while Xplor Education University provides personalised training and unlimited tailored sessions.
Platform coverage is a central strength: Xplor Education supports web, iOS, Android and API access, with mobile apps for families and educators. Integrations include Xero, MYOB Acumatica, 1Place Childcare and Active Directory. This makes the suite suitable for providers seeking one broad operating environment rather than a standalone attendance, billing or lesson-planning tool. Providers should choose it when they need connected coverage across centre administration, educator workflows and family communication. A smaller service wanting only one narrowly defined function may prefer a more focused product with fewer separate components.
