The bilateral session ritual

Every Gardspace session starts with a handover and ends with a confirmation. This is not a formality. It is the foundation of professional accountability in childcare.

In most childcare arrangements today, the working session has no formal beginning and no formal end. The nanny arrives. The parent leaves. A few messages are exchanged during the day. The parent returns. A brief verbal summary is given at the door. The session is over — without ever having officially started.

Gardspace introduces a bilateral session ritual. Four steps. Two parties. Every time.

The four steps

The parent starts the session. The nanny confirms. The nanny ends the session. The parent confirms the end. At this moment, the Daily Report is finalised and delivered to both parents.

This is not a formality. It is the foundation of professional accountability.

Why it matters

The bilateral ritual creates something that did not exist before: a documented record of when responsibility transferred, and to whom. A nanny who participates in this ritual consistently is building her NTR — a verified professional record that no self-declaration can match.

Your NTR builds from your first documented session. Every day counts.
