Built with admissions teams, not for IT departments.
Parents apply online. Admit matches their preferences to capacity and attendance patterns.
Your team does less admin, and every decision is on the record.
A day in the cycle, before and after
Same intake. Same policy. Less of the work done by hand.
Applications
Before: forms keyed in one by one. After: parents apply online and the application arrives complete.
Funded hours
Before: worked out by hand from each pattern. After: calculated from each child's entitlement and attendance pattern.
Allocation
Before: spreadsheets and a long meeting. After: your criteria, applied consistently, with every score on the record.
The hard cases
Before: late applications and mid-year moves handled off to the side. After: handled in the same place, by the same rules.
Questions
Before: the phone and a shared inbox. After: parents see their status, and each message about a child is logged against them.

Partner providers see their funded children, attendance patterns and funding lists for themselves.
You'll talk to the people who built it
No tiered support. No chatbot. When you have a question, you speak to the team that builds Admit.
Your policy changes. Admit is configured to your criteria, and most changes need no code.
