Please read these Terms carefully before using Nestly. By using the Service, you agree to be bound by them.

Plain-English Summary

Nestly is a tool for parents and carers to track their child's development. You own your data. We don't sell it. The platform is not a medical tool — always consult professionals for health decisions. Be respectful, keep your account secure, and contact us if anything goes wrong.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Nestly ("the Service") at mynestly.org, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Service.

These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Service. By creating an account, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age, or that you are using the Service under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian.

2. Description of Service

Nestly is a platform for families of neurodivergent children that connects parents, school staff, and health specialists. The Service comprises three integrated dashboards:

Parent Dashboard: track developmental milestones, health records, appointments, and care coordination.
School Dashboard: manage EHCP/PEI records, attendance, daily logs, wellbeing flags, and academic progress.
Health Specialist Dashboard: coordinate care plans, share clinical notes, and communicate with families.

A single account may access multiple dashboards depending on the user's role. The Service is currently in active development and features are subject to change. We make no guarantees regarding the timing or features of future releases.

Nestly is not a medical, therapeutic, or clinical tool. Nothing within the Service constitutes professional medical, psychological, or educational advice. Always consult qualified professionals for decisions relating to a child's health, education, or wellbeing.
