Knuut is used in private daycares and daycare chains across Finland. From single unit daycares to chains with dozens of units.
”Getting started went smoothly. Knuut is easy to use. Our staff picked it up quickly, and so did the parents. The Knuut team answers questions the same day and is open to ideas for new features.”

daycare director, Kullannuppu”Knuut is fast and easy to use, and our days ran smoothly from the start. Many steps dropped out of our work, and that has shown in our costs too.”

A daycare chain was about to hire a new teacher. Knuut gave a realistic picture of staff ratios across the whole chain, and one unit turned out to be overstaffed. Staff were spread more evenly between the units, and the new hire was not needed at all. The saving was one teacher's annual salary including employer costs.
The attendance records showed that several children were in care for more hours than their contract allowed. The daycare went through it with the families using the data, and the contracts were updated to match actual use. The daycare gained revenue it would have missed entirely without the records in one place.
Upcoming care times showed that clearly fewer children than usual were coming on Friday afternoon. The food order was reduced to match. Some of the staff also got to go home earlier than usual and knew about it well ahead. The savings showed in both costs and staff wellbeing.
The city asked for staff ratio figures for spring mornings compared with the rest of the day. Reports like this used to be compiled from manual records, which took days. Now the figures came straight from the system and the answer went out the same day.
