Common questions about Lease & Property for nurseries

Does Paddl track CQC premises requirements for nurseries?

Yes. Paddl maps CQC fundamental standards for premises against your lease obligations and current compliance. It identifies where lease restrictions might conflict with regulatory requirements. Nurseries face unique challenges around formula preparation and weaning - this covers those specifically.

How does fire safety tracking work for nurseries?

Paddl extracts fire safety obligations from your lease and cross-references them with Regulatory Reform Order requirements. It tracks who is responsible for fire risk assessments, alarm maintenance, and escape route compliance. Nursery managers value the parental confidence this creates around food safety and nutrition.

Can I track landlord responsibilities for nurseries?

Yes. Record landlord obligations, track your requests for repairs or compliance certificates, and maintain an evidence trail of all communications-protecting you if the landlord fails to meet their duties. In nursery settings where pre-verbal children cannot communicate reactions, these safeguards are vital.

Does it help with accessibility modifications for nurseries?

Paddl identifies lease clauses that affect your ability to make accessibility modifications-consent requirements, reinstatement obligations, and any restrictions on structural alterations. Nurseries report this makes both Ofsted and EHO inspections significantly less stressful.
