Where is the Family Day Care Diary?

Butler Diaries @ 06 Dec 2023 (updated)

New and exciting Diaries have arrived at Butler Diaries featuring new layouts, binding, and COLOUR!

These changes include changes to the Family Day Care Diary and Family Day Care Co-Ordinator Diary.

The Family Day Care Diary

Family Day Care Diaries

The Family Day Care Diary has now merged with the more comprehensive Family Day Care Compliance Diary.

The new 2024 layout of the Family Day Care Compliance Diary now includes everything the Family Day Care Diary did and more!

The new layout includes a section to record your Correspondence, Notes and Activities (for a more comprehensive program, use in conjunction with the Weekly Programming and Reflection Diaries). Your Daily Checklist covers more of your health, safety, and cleaning requirements. With a stronger focus now more than ever on Health and Safety, this checklist will help you meet your compliance requirements.

Your Wellbeing Logs such as your Sunscreen, Nappy Changing, and Sleep records are all included in the Family Day Care Compliance Diary.

Your Menu is captured in a tidy and easy page at the start of each month. This makes planning ahead of time even easier so you can easily see previous cooked meals and make notes on special dietary or cultural needs.

Use your Family Day Care Compliance Diary in conjunction with its associate NCRs and duplicate books:

Visitor Sign-In Book to record visitors as they enter and exit your Family Day Care,
Attendance Book to record children who are present and absent,
Administration of Medication Record Triplicate Book and Incident, Injury, Trauma and Illness Record Triplicate Book to keep records together and provide families and service providers with the records they need, and
Transportation Log Duplicate Book to meet your compliance requirements under the new March 2023 regulations.

Family Day Care Co-Ordinator Diary

The Family Day Care Co-Ordinator Book has now been turned into a log that provides you flexibility whether you work one day or seven.

Fun and Sustainable Ways to Reuse Your Butler Diaries Packaging

Leona Butler @ 29 Sep 2025

At Butler Diaries, we’re committed to sustainability — that’s why every box we send has already been reused at least three times. But the journey doesn’t need to end there! Both our cardboard boxes and air pillows can be transformed into exciting, EYLF-linked learning experiences. From building box cities and puppet theatres to turning air pillows into sensory play and STEM experiments, here are creative ways to give your packaging a second life in your service.
