Your Blossom Board is your home screen on Blossom. This is where you'll come when you first log into Blossom. Below is what you'll see when you log in:

Note: The widgets that are visible on your Blossomboard are based on the staff permission level of who is logged in. Only nursery admins and managers will see finance information, for example.

The Blossomboard is made up of several different widgets to help you with everyday tasks. The Blossomboard is fully customisable, and you can choose which widgets to display by following these steps:

More > Settings > Blossomboard > Edit.

The date and time widget offers a clear display of the current date and time and will link with the time and date settings on your device.

This widget is connected to the Register. It shows how many children are currently signed in, and how many are due in at the time you are viewing the attendance. You can see this displayed per room below. When clicking on the room, it will bring you to your Register for that room.

Note: If the widget is displaying incorrectly, it could be due to still having children signed in from a previous day or session.

These widgets will highlight accident & incident forms that require signatures, and extra session requests from the parent app that are still pending. Click within the widget to go to the area that requires attention.

This widget displays any children predicted to be in the setting today who have allergies.

Need to search for a certain child? You can do this from your Blossomboard instead of going through the Children page. The children registered in your nursery will appear alphabetically, or use the search bar to find a child quickly. Archived children will not show up in your Children Search.

This widget has two clear functions. When clicking ‘Make Observation’, you can go directly to the ‘Create an observation’ page on Blossom and fill out an observation for a child.

Clicking ‘Send Diary’ allows you to approve and send the children's diaries via a pop-up. This will then send updates to the parents via email or the Parent App.

The Upcoming Birthdays widget will display any child or staff member who has a birthday at the top of the widget, with other upcoming birthdays listed chronologically below. You can see when children become eligible for funding or just make a birthday special.

The Observations widget lists all draft observations, and a button to quickly take you to the ‘create an observation’ page. It also displays how many observations are awaiting approval.

The Next Steps widget will list all the next steps (created within observations) that are being worked on for your key children.

This will show upcoming viewings logged into your Enquiries section for the week and the current month.

You can filter by room to see where you are overstaffed and understaffed at a glance, based on who is scheduled to work in your Staff Rota. Click on ‘Staffing Overview’ on the widget to go to the Staff Rota, where you can see a more detailed view and edit staff shifts.

This widget displays an overview of your Annual Revenue report, the current month and last month’s income, and an overview of your Aged Debt report. Clicking on ‘Annual Revenue’ or ‘Aged Debt’ will bring you directly to those reports.

*Available to Manager & Nursery Administrator levels

This widget shows the total outstanding balance owed, as well as the 10 children with the highest outstanding balances.

Note: To see all children with outstanding balances, use the Aged Debt financial report.

*Available to Manager & Nursery Administrator levels

This widget will give you a list of unsent invoices that have been saved as a draft. It displays the child, the invoice number, and the total cost. When clicking on a draft invoice, it will take you to that invoice where you can edit, send, or delete it.

This widget will show your upcoming starters and leavers a month ahead of time. Click on the child to be taken to their profile.
