The story

eyworks began in 2012 as eyLog/Poohbooh, a learning-observation app for UK early-years settings, and has broadened into a modular nursery operating system (eymanage, eyenquiries, eypay) covering registers, invoicing, HR, recruitment and parent communication for ~2,000 UK childcare settings. The 2026 Unipaas partnership and the eypay launch mark its move from pure SaaS into vertical embedded finance — adding card, wallet, direct debit, open-banking and Tax-Free Childcare reconciliation inside the platform.
