# NurseryDownloader

> NurseryDownloader is a Chrome extension that lets parents bulk-download every photo and video their child's nursery or daycare has shared, in one click, at full quality. It works with Famly, ParentZone, Lillio (HiMama), KinderCare, Procare, Bright Horizons FamilyApp (UK), Kidizz, Meeko and Bitcare.

## About

Nursery and daycare apps let parents save photos one at a time, and when a child leaves the placement the parent's login is switched off, usually taking every photo with it. The nursery does not keep a copy for the family, and the leaving PDF is a fraction of the original quality. NurseryDownloader collects the whole gallery and downloads it in a single run, into folders by month with the date at the front of each filename. All processing happens locally in the browser: photos are never uploaded to NurseryDownloader or anyone else. It was created by Simon Minton, a parent of three, after his family lost access to their own nursery photos.
