- A new "Management Team" group has been added under System Settings >> Parents >> Conversations, allowing admins to manage key employees who parents can directly chat with via the conversations feature (coming soon) in the parent app. For current customers, this group has Nursery Manager roles as default members but if unavailable, Company Admins are included. Admins users such as Company Admins, HR Admin, Area Managers, and Branch Managers can access and modify the group by adding or removing roles/employees through a searchable dropdown list. Employees eligible for inclusion are those with roles that have access to child profiles. The group name is fixed and cannot be changed, but its description and participants can be edited.
The Staff Scheduling screen has been improved to display each employee's contracted and scheduled hours directly below their name. This improvement provides immediate visibility into employees' working hours and helps you manage scheduling more effectively. A colour-coded system has been implemented to highlight different scheduling scenarios:
- Blue: Contracted hours are greater than scheduled hours (over-scheduled).
- Red: Contracted hours are less than scheduled hours (under-scheduled).
- Green: Contracted hours are equal to scheduled hours (balanced).
- The dashboard layout has been changed to improve visibility of upcoming features and enhance the overall user experience by grouping related functionalities more effectively. Additionally, the 'Messages' section has been renamed 'Campaigns' to better align with its purpose in preparation for the improved parent app launch.

- For an equally spread (annualised) invoice where the funding calculation is set to As per weekly funding hours, the monthly invoice now includes a column called Funding Calculation Factor similar to the existing Invoice Calculation Factor. This ensures accurate funding calculations by adjusting funding hours to align with attendance patterns and annualised billing.
- The "Calculation Factor Per Formula" has been added to the Products & Services settings for both Global Settings and System Settings. This field appears only when the rate type is Automated Rates → As Per Formula → Weekly and provides two radio button options: Invoice Calculation Factor and Funding Calculation Factor.
