Correct attendance

Fix a time, add a missed session or remove an incorrect record.

Checked against Meadow on 2026-10-12

Owners and managers can review attendance in Reports → Child attendance. Start with the child and date, then compare the recorded session with what actually happened.

Correct a recorded session

  1. Open Reports → Child attendance.
  2. Select the child and the relevant dates.
  3. Open the day, find the recorded session and choose Edit times.
  4. Enter the correct arrival and departure times and save.
  5. Check the resulting session and total hours.

Use Add session to record a session that was missed entirely. If a session should not exist, choose Remove and provide the reason requested. Removed attendance remains in the correction history rather than silently disappearing.

If you cannot edit

Corrections require permission to change attendance. If you can read the report but do not see Edit times, ask an owner or manager to check your access. If there is no session for that day, use Add session instead of trying to edit an empty day.

Check the sequence

A departure needs an earlier arrival on the same day. Sessions must form a sensible order, and no attendance time can be in the future. If there is already a check-out, correct that record instead of adding another one.

If Meadow says another person already corrected the record, refresh and review the latest version before trying again.

After a correction

Recheck the attendance report and any funding comparison affected by those dates. Changes to recorded attendance can change the figures you are reviewing. They do not update a claim already submitted on the Hive.

See Attendance reports for choosing and exporting a report.
