Cake list, helpers for the summer party, parent night and development talks – parents join by link, no account and no ads.
Sign-up list
Who bakes what? Parents add their cake and see what’s already covered – so you don’t end up with five marble cakes.
Example: Ideas: sponge cake, fruit cake, muffins – Anna brings marble cake, Ben muffins.

Setup, coffee stand, clean-up: every task has its places, and once it’s full it takes no one else.
Example: Coffee stand 2–4 pm: 2 of 3 places taken.

Three evenings to choose from, parents answer Yes, No or “If need be” – the best date is at the top.
Example: Tuesday, 7:30 pm – 14 of 18 can make it.
Create a date pollAppointment slots
Offer 30-minute meeting slots – each family books exactly one, no slot is ever taken twice. Only you at the daycare see who comes when.
Example: Monday, 2:00–2:30 PM: booked · 2:30–3:00 PM: free.
Create appointment slotsFor an institution, what matters is which data is collected. With Polls, it is only the poll itself and the names and answers parents enter.
More questions are answered in the Help.
No. Parents open the link in their browser and enter a name – a first name is fine. Polls never asks for an email address.
Anything you don’t need to get organized. Health details, individual children’s allergies or addresses don’t belong in a poll that everyone with the link can see. A first name is enough for the cake list; for development talks you can ask for the child’s name.
That is your institution’s decision. If your provider has data protection rules, check with your management or data protection officer first. The Polls privacy policy covers everything they need to know: which data is collected, where it is stored and when it is deleted.
With a poster on the notice board: Polls creates a printable one with a QR code on the manage page. Scanning it with a phone opens the poll straight away.
Yes. On the same device, at any time while the poll is running.
Your poll is ready in two minutes – just send the link to the parents’ group.
