DBS tracking for nurseries

Last updated: 25 May 2026

Ofsted expects every member of staff working with children to hold a current Enhanced DBS check. DbsDue keeps the dates, sends the reminders and produces the export an inspector asks for — without an HR suite.

Why nurseries use DbsDue

  • One dashboard for every practitioner, apprentice and bank-staff DBS.
  • Email reminders at 90, 60 and 30 days before a check turns three years old.
  • One-click PDF export grouped by staff member, ready for Ofsted Day 1.
  • Free for teams of up to 5. Paid tiers stay under £20 a month.

Designed around the EYFS

The dashboard mirrors the language of the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage: "suitable people", "single central record", "Enhanced DBS with barred list check". You won't find generic HR jargon — just the fields Ofsted asks about.

What it isn't

DbsDue doesn't perform DBS checks — those stay with the official Disclosure & Barring Service or your umbrella body. We track the dates and produce the evidence; you keep the certificates.
