Typically live in 4 weeks.
From award to go-live.
Your existing children come in by bulk upload. There is nothing to install.
Week by week
The same five steps for every council, in the same order.
- 1
Configure forms and criteria
Your application forms and admissions criteria are set up in Admit, in your wording.
- 2
Set allocation rules
Scoring, capacity, attendance patterns and catchment areas are configured to your policy.
- 3
Bulk upload existing children
Children already in your settings are uploaded in one go, not re-keyed.
- 4
Training
Your team is trained on your own configuration, with your own data.
- 5
Go-live
Applications open to parents. We stay close through the first intake.
What we need from you
Your policy
Your admissions criteria and your current application forms.
Your settings
Council settings and partner providers, with capacity and attendance patterns.
Your children
An export of the children already placed, for the bulk upload.
Your catchment areas
As GeoJSON files, or through an API to your own systems.
What you keep
Admit is configured to the way you already work. Your policy does not change to fit the software.
- Your criteria
- Your wording, on every form and message
- Your intakes and your dates
No infrastructure, and the team beside you
Nothing to deploy
Admit runs in the browser and is UK-hosted. No servers, no installs, no work for your IT team beyond sign-off.
Direct support during setup
You work with the team that builds Admit, from the first configuration to go-live.
Applications and allocation
What your criteria and allocation rules do once they are configured.
Funded hours
Calculated for every uploaded child from day one.
Partner providers
Council and partner nurseries on one system, working from the same figures.
