Side-by-side
Where MindSprout is different
Focused on the daily signal
MindSprout doesn't try to be a content library or a training provider. It does one thing exceptionally well: a daily check-in that turns into pastoral action.
A daily signal, not a termly snapshot
MindSprout asks one short question every school day. A child's mood can change in a single morning — a termly or weekly survey will miss it. Daily check-ins create the early signal pastoral teams actually need to act.
Designed around teacher workload
Nothing for staff to launch. No survey to schedule. MindSprout runs quietly in the background and only surfaces a child when something has shifted. Teachers stay focused on teaching; pastoral leads see what matters.
Real-time notifications to the right adult
When a child's check-in changes meaningfully, the right pastoral lead is notified the same day. Insight that lives only inside a dashboard is insight that often arrives too late.
Whole-school view with hierarchy drill-down
Headteachers see the school. Heads of year see their year group. Form tutors see their class. Pastoral leads see individual children. One source of truth — appropriate depth for every role.
In one paragraph
youHQ suits schools wanting a wider wellbeing toolkit with training and content. MindSprout suits schools that already have those resources but lack a consistent daily signal and pastoral data layer.
