FCA admin, automated —
on your own computer.
Centre Tools handles your Free Childcare Application portal busywork — fob-scan cleanup, monthly events, and utilisation tracking — running locally in your own Google Chrome. Your data never leaves your machine.
Get set upFob-scan cleanup
Pulls the portal's own data, finds missing scans and duplicates, and fixes them — only after you confirm.
Monthly events
Adds clock-in / clock-out to every accepted application for a chosen date, with a dry run first.
Utilisation & earnings
Tracks under-utilisation and earnings so you catch issues before they become clawbacks.
Private by design
Children's data stays on your computer, encrypted at rest. Centre Tools never receives it.
Getting started
- Install Google Chrome if you don't already have it.
- Get set up — we create your account and send a one-time password.
- Download & sign in — open Centre Tools, sign in, set your own password, and accept the terms.
- Run your first job — log in to the FCA portal in the Chrome window Centre Tools opens, then start a cleanup.
Your data stays yours
Centre Tools runs entirely on your computer and drives your own authorised portal access. Children's data is processed locally and encrypted at rest where your operating system supports it — it never reaches our servers.
Centre Tools is an independent tool that automates your own authorised access to the FCA portal. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Maltese government or Jobsplus.
