When you open a nursery, every dirham counts. It’s natural to look for a free tool. Here’s what you’ll find, and what to know before committing to one.

The free options
| Tool | What it does well | Its limit |
|---|---|---|
| WhatsApp group | Quick announcements | Photos seen by all, nothing tracked |
| Excel or Google Sheets | List of children, monthly fees | No access for parents, copy errors |
| Paper daily log | Simple, familiar | No photos, gets lost, read in the evening |
| Free plan of foreign software | A few basic features | Often French-only, in euros, built for France |
What a free tool costs
- The director’s time: copying, chasing, answering the phone
- Monthly fees forgotten or paid late
- Parents’ trust when a photo ends up where it shouldn’t
