Dododo — Turn everyday nanny time into purposeful play
Developmental activities for nannies · Ages 2–8

Your child already spends time with a nanny. Give her a personalised plan for purposeful play.

Tell us about your child's current skills. Dododo selects simple activities your nanny can use to practise communication, attention, following instructions, fine motor skills and early learning through play.

No extra appointments. No special training for your nanny.

She gets clear activities chosen for your child. You get a simple way to turn some of the time they already spend together into purposeful developmental play.

Personalised after a 20-minute questionnaire · Designed by paediatric OTs

For the child who can't sit still

What your nanny sees
  • What to do
  • How to do it
  • What skill it develops
A plan built around your child

Not just a library of activities. A clear plan for what to practise next.

Children of the same age can need very different kinds of practice. Dododo uses your answers to select activities that fit your child's current skills and interests.

Tell us about your child

Complete a 20-minute questionnaire about communication, attention, movement, play and early learning.

Get a personalised plan

Dododo selects short activities at the right level, with a clear developmental purpose.

Invite your nanny

Share access directly. She sees simple instructions on her phone — no clinical background required.

Start purposeful play

Your nanny follows the activity, marks it as done and tells Dododo how your child responded.

The goal isn't to turn your nanny into a therapist. It is to remove the daily work of finding, choosing and explaining useful activities — while giving your child regular practice through play.

No special equipment No professional training No complicated preparation

Your nanny opens Dododo and gets clear, step-by-step guidance:

What to do How to do it What skill it develops

So she doesn't have to search Pinterest, invent educational games or wonder whether an activity is actually useful. She simply opens the activity and starts playing with your child.

The opportunity

Same nanny. Same hours. More opportunities to develop.

Your child may already need more practice with:

Attention

Staying focused and completing an activity.

Communication

Expressing needs, interacting and taking turns.

Following instructions

Listening, understanding and completing simple sequences.

Fine motor skills

Using hands and fingers with greater control and coordination.

Early learning skills

Matching, sorting, sequencing, remembering and problem-solving.

Movement & body awareness

Balance, coordination, and settling the body enough to sit and focus.

Perfectly normal.

But there is an opportunity hidden inside those hours.

With Dododo
Your nanny knows exactly what to do.

Instead of simply filling the time, she can build short developmental activities naturally into the day.

  • MorningAnimal walks before breakfast — so sitting still is easier after.
  • MiddayA communication game while playing.
  • Before lunchA fine motor activity.
  • AfternoonA sequencing game.

Your child gets regular opportunities to practise important skills — without adding another appointment to the family calendar.

And your nanny doesn't have to become a therapist. She just needs the right activities.

Before you subscribe

Questions parents actually ask.

Does my nanny need any training or experience?

No. Every activity is written in plain, step-by-step language, with no clinical background assumed. She opens the activity and follows it.

What if my nanny's English isn't strong?

The steps are deliberately short and concrete, with minimal reading — most of what happens is physical play and simple back-and-forth, not language-heavy instruction. Show her the example activity above: if she can follow it comfortably, she should be able to use Dododo.

How long does an activity take?

Most are short — around 10 minutes — and designed to fit naturally into the day your nanny already has, rather than replacing it.

Is this a diagnosis or a therapy programme?

No — it's a developmental activity plan, not a diagnosis or a substitute for therapy. If something in your child's development concerns you, we'd point you toward a proper assessment rather than this subscription alone.

What if we have more than one child?

Each subscription includes one personalised child profile. If more than one child joins the same activity, your nanny can still adapt the play for them, but the plan itself is built around the child whose questionnaire you complete.

What happens after I subscribe?

First, you complete the 20-minute questionnaire. Dododo creates your child's plan, then you invite your nanny using a private link. She opens her first activity on her phone and can start straight away.

Can I use this myself, or with a grandparent?

Yes. The activities work for anyone spending regular time with your child — a nanny, an au pair, a grandparent, or you at the weekend.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, with no contract. Monthly plans cancel anytime; annual plans keep access until the end of the paid period.

What happens to our child's information?

Your answers are used only to personalise your child's activities. Details on how we store and protect your information are in our privacy policy.

Development doesn't always need another hour. Sometimes it just needs a better use of the hours your child already has.
