The Attendance vs Funding Hours report helps managers compare actual attendance against funding claims (ECCE and NCS). You can review hours manually or set up automatic weekly reminders for children who aren’t meeting their claimed hours.
Set Your Rounding PreferenceHead to Reports → Attendance vs Funding Hours.
Click Settings in the top-right corner.
In the pop-up, use the toggle to choose how hours should be rounded — either daily or weekly.
Daily: Rounds each day individually.
Weekly: Totals and rounds the week as a whole.
This setting determines how each child’s total attended hours are displayed.
Enable Attendance Reminder EmailsIn the same Settings pop-up, you can now set up automatic attendance reminders.
Enter your name and email address.
Choose how many weeks back the system should check for under-attending children.
You’ll then receive an email every Monday listing any children not meeting the hours claimed from Hive.
Manually Review AttendanceIf you’d like to check attendance yourself:
Use the date range selector to choose which weeks you want to analyse.
The first column in the report shows each child’s total attended hours — calculated using your selected rounding setting.
For children receiving ECCE and/or NCS funding:
The system subtracts ECCE hours first.
The remaining hours are compared to their claimed NCS hours.
If a child hasn’t attended enough hours, their row will be highlighted in red.
If they’ve met or exceeded their claimed hours, their row will not be highlighted.
Best Practice TipsReview this report weekly to ensure your funding claims stay accurate.
Keep rounding consistent — switching between daily and weekly may affect totals.
Make sure your ECCE and NCS calendars are current so calculations stay correct.
Enable email reminders for automatic tracking if you manage multiple rooms or branches.
