On the Button stands out as the only software of its kind that is tailored specifically for the early years sector. Initially, On the Button was crafted by an experienced multi-site owner/manager with the utmost responsibility for team well-being, family satisfaction and children's well-being as the DSL. Feedback was also gained from managers and DSLs currently working in the sector.   Their insights have been instrumental in adding new features to On the Button over the last 10 months. The platform has also been endorsed by Sue Asquith and Greg Wolff (both leading early years consultants who deliver safeguarding training). Therefore, On the Button has integrity and is designed to meet the real, day-to-day needs of early years settings, making it unique and offering practical solutions.  

On the Button will support settings with the upcoming safeguarding regulations in September 2025. It gives teams the necessary tools to put your policy into practice and underpin your ethos, where children come first, and safeguarding is everyone's responsibility.  

On the Button guides everyone to make the reporting of any concerns they may have a natural, integrated part of nursery life. The software provides a consistent and comprehensive system to ensure that practitioners never have to second-guess whether they should speak up. The process is simple and supportive, ensuring nothing slips through the net, relieving anxiety.  Whistleblowing is also built into the platform, giving practitioners a safe, straightforward way to raise concerns either in person or anonymously.  

It allows senior staff (managers and DSLs) to respond and record outcomes, backing up your culture of accountability and action. Information is shared on a strict need-to-know basis, keeping sensitive data secure and in one place. For Managers and Designated Safeguarding Leads, reports for external bodies are ready at their fingertips, enabling them to meet requirements quickly and confidently while carrying out their regular duties.  

On the Button is not just about functionality; it is about relieving stress, preventing anguish, and possibly even saving a life. It is delivered at an affordable price, but its value goes beyond cost. It supports settings in maintaining their reputation, giving the registered person peace of mind that information is less likely to fall through the cracks. It's already receiving great reviews, offering relief and satisfaction to those using it. You can view some videos at weareonthebutton.com/testimonials.
