Nest Portal · Coming 2026
Children's home management software, designed around how care providers actually operate.
Nest Portal brings care records, staffing, safeguarding, compliance and day-to-day operations into one secure place. Teams can see what needs attention without piecing it together across separate systems.
Built by people with 30+ years' combined experience running children's homes.
One connected place
What Portal will cover
From young people's records, care planning and safeguarding to staffing, recruitment, leave, training, compliance, quality assurance, finance, maintenance and fleet, Portal is designed around how care providers actually operate.
Young people's records
The people, processes and responsibilities that matter every day, held together in one secure view rather than scattered across systems.
Care planning
Plans, tasks and follow-ups kept in context, so the next action is visible to the people responsible for it.
Safeguarding
Concerns, evidence and documents recorded with the detail that makes excellent care possible, and the auditability inspections require.
Staffing & recruitment
Roles, vacancies, onboarding and the approvals that go with them, tracked across every Home you run.
Leave & approvals
Requests, cover and reminders handled in context, with a clear record of who approved what and when.
Training, joined up
Nest Learn already handles courses, the Training Matrix and evidence. Portal keeps that picture alongside everything else.
Compliance & quality assurance
Oversight leaders need across homes, with strong auditability around sensitive information.
Finance, maintenance & fleet
The operational work that keeps homes running, recorded in the same place as everything else rather than in side spreadsheets.
Working in context
Tasks, evidence and approvals where the work happens
Teams can manage tasks, evidence, documents, follow-ups, reminders and approvals in context, while leaders gain the oversight they need across homes without losing the detail that makes excellent care possible.
AI in Portal
AI will make Portal more useful, not less human
Portal can help draft handover summaries, suggest follow-up tasks and flag information that needs a closer look. It only works from information the user is allowed to see, and a person checks every output. AI supports professional judgement; it doesn't make decisions about people or care.
Drafts and summaries
From authorised information only, ready for a person to check and finish.
Prompts and follow-ups
Practical suggestions that help people spot what needs attention.
Permission-controlled
Every use is transparent, and scoped to what that person may already see.
Human-led
AI supports professional judgement. It doesn't make decisions about people or care.
Multi-home & multi-provider
A calmer, more joined-up way to run care
Built for multi-home and multi-provider organisations, Portal gives each provider their own secure environment, adaptable roles and workflows, and strong auditability around sensitive information.
The result is a calmer, more joined-up way to run care: less time chasing systems, more confidence in the information at hand, and more time for people.
- Each provider gets their own secure environment
- Adaptable roles and workflows
- Strong auditability around sensitive information
- Oversight across homes without losing the detail
