Who it’s for

HACCP app for crèches and childcare

Young children are especially vulnerable to foodborne illness and allergic reactions. A crèche kitchen’s records matter as much as the food.

The checks Hygivo sets up for you

When you set up, Hygivo suggests these. Keep the ones you do, rename them, change how often they come due, and add your own.

  • Kitchen fridge, and the milk and bottle fridge
  • Cleaning the bottle preparation area, high chairs and feeding tables
  • Cooking and reheating temperatures for meals made on site
  • Deliveries with batch codes and use-by dates
  • Allergen information for each meal, ready for staff and parents’ questions

Why it helps

Crèches are inspected for food safety by HSE environmental health officers, as well as by Tusla for the service itself. Hygivo keeps the food records tidy and quick to find.

What you get

  • Each staff member records checks on their own phone, with their name and the time.
  • Out-of-range readings and rejected deliveries ask what was done, and reach owners and managers straight away.
  • Records for any period, searchable by batch, date, equipment or person, and downloadable as a PDF or Excel report.
  • Works without signal: checks are kept on the phone and sent when the connection returns.
