About Us
Our Journey with CheckMate.
Eighteen years ago, my oldest school friend and I founded Early Years Catering. As parents ourselves, we understood the importance of ensuring that every meal served in early years was prepared with the highest standards of safety and care.

We worked with some friends to develop systems to streamline our operations.
One of our most significant innovations was a food safety system that allowed us to check off tasks, record temperatures, and adhere strictly to food safety regulations. This system not only improved our kitchen operations but also ensured that we were consistently achieving full marks in our EHO inspections.
After four years of successfully using this system within our own kitchens…
…we saw the potential to help other nurseries and early years settings achieve the same level of safety and compliance. That’s when we decided to take our system to the next level by developing it into an easy-to-use app – CheckMate


CheckMate is designed specifically for kitchens!
We ensure they are able to maintain high levels of food safety, keep accurate records, and ensure their teams are compliant with all necessary regulations. With robust administration and reporting features, management can effortlessly oversee food safety practices and guarantee that their staff are following the correct procedures.
At the heart of CheckMate is our commitment to the well-being of children.
We know how crucial it is to create a safe and healthy environment in every preschool kitchen, and we’re proud to offer a tool that helps nurseries achieve this with ease and confidence.
