The following feature will be available via a phased rollout from 21 January 2026.
We’re enhancing the Sleep Checks feature in Playground. Educators can now add recommended sleep checks - such as sleeping positions and breathing checks - aligning with Red Nose Australia guidelines, as recommended by ACECQA and SIDS research.
- Flexible Logging: Improved flexibility in Sleep Checks makes it easier to add the recommended checks.
- Time Saving: The new bulk logging feature allows educators to record multiple sleep events and checks at once, streamlining routines, saving time and freeing up educators for direct care.
- Reducing Compliance Risks: Supports educators in aligning with best-practice sleep and rest procedures, helping minimise compliance risks.
- Room Temperature: Educators can now include the room temperature when doing sleep checks.
Embedding best-practice standards supports safer sleep environments and gives educators confidence in meeting compliance
To ensure sleep times are displayed correctly in the Home app after the Playground release, families must update the Home app to the latest version 2.12.0 (available from 14 January).
