Nursery attendance app: check-in, pickup alerts and absence reports
Teachers mark each child present from the teacher app in a few taps. Parents get a notification the moment their child arrives and leaves. You see who's in today — and who's absent too often — without opening a paper register.

How attendance works in LumiNest
Three steps, every morning and every afternoon.
The teacher marks the class
From her phone or the class tablet, she opens today's list and marks each child in. No paper, no copying into Excel later.
The parent is notified
A push notification reaches the parent's phone when their child checks in — and again at pickup.
The director sees the day
Present and absent counts per class and branch on the dashboard, and attendance history for every child.
Why move attendance off paper
A paper register works until someone asks a question. "Was Malak here last Tuesday?" "How many days did Omar miss this month?" With LumiNest the answer is already there, per child and per class.
- Fewer "has he arrived?" calls. Parents already got the arrival notification.
- A calmer pickup. Parents are notified at pickup too, and the nursery keeps a record of when each child left.
- Absence patterns you can act on. Reports show which children are absent too often, so you can check in with the family early.
- One view for every branch. Branch admins manage their own branch; the owner sees all of them.
- Reports that print properly in Arabic and English.
Attendance is connected to the rest of the day
The same app the teacher uses for attendance is where she logs the rest of the child's day.
Daily report
Meals, naps, toilet or diapers, mood and notes — sent to the parent app. See our daily report guide.
Photos and moments
Teachers share the day's photos from the same app, and each parent sees only their own child.
Ask Lumi AI (add-on)
Directors with the Lumi AI add-on can simply ask "who was absent today?" and get the answer from your own data.
Attendance questions
Do teachers need a device each?
No. Teachers can use their own phone or a shared class tablet with the LumiNest teacher app (iOS and Android). Each teacher signs in with her own account.
When do parents get notified?
When their child is checked in, and again when the child is picked up. Notifications go to the free parent app.
Can I see attendance for a whole month?
Yes. Attendance history is kept per child and per class, and the reports show who is absent too often. Reports print correctly in Arabic and English.
We have two branches. Does that work?
Yes. Each branch can have its own branch admin who manages that branch, while the owner sees all branches. The Standard plan covers 2 branches and Professional up to 5 — see pricing.
Is attendance included in every plan?
Yes. Attendance and the free parent app are included from the Basic plan (2,000 EGP/month, up to 40 children).
