Everything in one place

Stop chasing records.
Start seeing progress.

Pathlight replaces spreadsheets, sticky notes, and WhatsApp threads with one board every leader can open and trust.

Visual age board

Children organised into columns by age — youngest to oldest. Drag cards between columns manually, or let birthdays move them automatically.

Award progress

Six award circles per child. Click to record. Bronze, Silver, and Gold tiers appear automatically as children earn more.

Team access

Every co-leader signs in with their own account. Any change one leader makes updates instantly on every other screen.

Safety at a glance

Allergy details, medication notes, and photo consent stored on every card. See everything that matters before a session starts.

Secure by design

Two-factor authentication, invite codes for co-leaders, and GDPR-compliant data handling built in from day one.

Any device

Works on phones, tablets, and laptops. No app to download — open the link in any browser and your board is there.

How Pathlight works

One board.
Every detail.
Always current.

Pathlight gives every leader the same view. Add a child once — everyone sees them. Tick an award — everyone knows immediately.

Auto birthday moves

Children move to the next age column on their birthday — no manual shuffling required.

Live across all devices

Any change any leader makes appears on every screen in seconds. No emailing files, no version confusion.

Safe sharing

Generate a read-only link for anyone who needs a view — commissioners, parents, substitutes — without giving edit access.

"Before Pathlight, I had three spreadsheets, a notebook, and a WhatsApp thread just to keep track of my girls. Now I open one page and everything's there."
