File requirements and limits
Native Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets and Apple Numbers operation has not been tested. Formula outputs were independently compared in LibreOffice Calc. Recheck formulas and layout in your spreadsheet application before use.
A compatible desktop spreadsheet application is required and is not included. This is an editable spreadsheet, not an app, online service or static PDF. The file does not send reminders, make bookings or automatically share your information.
40 care blocks and 40 availability intervals. Same-day intervals only. Adjacent or partial availability intervals are not combined; split care blocks if needed. This planner does not confirm caregiver agreement or send messages. Native Excel and physical print preview untested.
Printing requires manual setup: select the required cells, use Print Selection, choose landscape for wide tables and fit one page wide with multiple pages tall. Inspect print preview before printing. Preset print layouts and native Excel printing have not been verified. Paper, ink, software and physical supplies are not included.
Compare before buying
This Excel file is distinct from the store’s printable PDF resources. It is also included in these workbook bundles: Childcare Decisions and Coverage. Each containing bundle uses the same workbook file, so choose the individual product or a suitable bundle to avoid buying the same file twice.
Household use
The purchasing household may save working copies for its own use. Do not resell, redistribute, publicly upload or share the workbook. Contact Wonder Kids Toy for use beyond one household. Keep personal information in a private copy and use nicknames where practical.
