How it works

Weekly care coverage

Compare required and confirmed care windows for one child or one group with identical needs, in one chosen weekly timetable and local time zone. Overlapping windows count once. A listed window means you have confirmed appropriate care for the entire period. This checks time coverage, not provider quality, staffing ratios or custody rights.

Uncovered time = union of required windows minus union of confirmed windows; covered time = required time − uncovered time.
