Who this is for

Three moments where the evidence scramble hurts most.

01

Opening soon

You're mid-registration or about to open. Start with recording and evidence organised from day one, instead of a filing crisis in month ten.

02

First year after registration

Your first full inspection lands within the year. Get everyday recording assembling the evidence before the call comes, not after.

03

Established, but dreading the folder hunt

You know the care is good. Proving it means late nights assembling folders. Move that work into the recording itself.

What you get

Everything set up, migrated, and working. In 30 days.

This is not a template pack you still have to organise. It is your home, live on a system, with your team trained and your evidence mapping itself.

Evidence audit

A recording and evidence audit of your current setup against the nine Quality Standards and Annex A, with a written gap list you keep either way.

Records migrated for you

Your existing records (Word, Excel, paper, or another system) moved into Hearth with original dates and authorship preserved, so nothing looks retyped in front of an inspector.

Your home configured

Children's profiles, staff accounts with two-factor sign-in, and your Reg 40 and Reg 44 flows set up and working.

A ready-made forms library

Your portal arrives stocked with the forms a home actually uses, daily logs to key-work sessions, tuned to your home rather than starting from a blank screen.

Team walkthrough

A live session with your staff so everyone records confidently from day one. If you can use a messaging app, you can use Hearth.

First 3 months included

The price covers your first three months of Hearth. After that it is standard monthly pricing with no contract, so you only stay because it works.

How it works

Thirty days, three stages.

Week 1

Audit and plan

We audit what you record today against the nine Quality Standards, agree the gap list, and plan the migration.

Weeks 2 to 3

Migrate and configure

Your records come across, your home is configured, and your forms library is set up around how your home actually works.

Week 4

Walk in ready

Your team gets a live walkthrough, and you get evidence that assembles itself by Quality Standard from then on.

The price

£950, one-off. That is the whole number.

Excluding VAT. It covers the audit, the migration, the configuration, the walkthrough, and your first three months of Hearth.

Registration consultants

£2,400 to £9,000

Excellent for getting registered. But the engagement ends, and the evidence system usually leaves with them.

Template packs

£200 to £630

Static documents. You still have to organise, maintain, and evidence everything yourself, forever.

Hearth Inspection-Ready Setup

£950 one-off

A live system, your records migrated, your team trained, and evidence that assembles itself as your staff record. First 3 months included.

After the three months: standard monthly by home size, from £149 per home per month, no contract. See the monthly plans.

Questions

Asked and answered, straight.

Can you guarantee our inspection outcome?

No, and you should be wary of anyone who says they can. What we do promise: your records organised, your evidence mapped to the nine Quality Standards, and a team that knows how to keep it that way.

We already use another system. Is that a problem?

No. Migration is the core of the setup. Your historical records keep their original dates and authorship and are marked as imported, so your audit trail stays honest.

When do we pay?

Up front, by invoice from Hearth Systems Ltd. Work starts as soon as payment clears, and the whole engagement is designed to finish within 30 days.

What happens after the three months?

Standard monthly pricing by home size, from £149 per month, with no contract. You can also export everything and leave. Your records are yours.

We haven't registered yet. Is this still for us?

Yes, it is arguably the best time. You open with recording and evidence organised from day one instead of retrofitting it under pressure in month ten.

Talk it through first. No pressure, no obligation.

A 20-minute call about where your home is and whether this fits. If it does not, you’ll leave with the gap list conversation anyway.

We’ll only use these details to arrange your call, nothing else. See our privacy notice. Please don’t include any information about children.
