Discover how the Nursery Memories Chrome extension makes it easy to save every special moment from ParentZone.

Why Download Your Child’s Nursery Photos?

When your children finish their time at nursery or pre-school and move onto 'big school' you may end up losing access to ParentZone and all of the many photos that were uploaded. After my two children finished at nursery I found that I had over 2,500 photos of them on ParentZone. These were memories that I didn't want to risk losing, and there was no easy way of quickly downloading them all, so I developed the Nursery Memories Chrome extension to make downloading them all quick and easy.

Getting Started with Nursery Memories

In this article we'll take a look, step by step, at how to get started downloading all of your child's photos from ParentZone.

Install the extension

If you want to quickly and easily download all of your child's photos from ParentZone start today by downloading the Nursery Memories Chrome extension. Initially, it'll start off in a free trial mode so you can test it out and see how it works. During this time you'll be limited to downloading just 10 photos, and the text in any Assessments or their Learning Story will be scrambled, but once you're happy you can upgrade to the full version to remove these restrictions.

Upgrade to the full version

At Nursery Memories, we believe in keeping things simple and fair. In a world where everything feels like it needs a subscription, we’ve chosen a one-off payment model — pay once, and it’s yours to enjoy forever. We know how it feels when everything seems to come with a monthly fee, and we wanted to do things differently.

When you're ready to upgrade you can buy a license key which will be delivered you via email immediately after purchase. Enter this key into the extension to unlock the full features and start downloading all your child's photos without any limits.

Login to ParentZone

Once you've got the extension installed you'll need to login into your ParentZone account using a Chrome browser. Look out for the Nursery Memories banner at the top of the page. Click the "Download Photos" button to open the extension and begin downloading.

Configure Your Download

You'll have a few different filters you can use to control what gets downloaded. Firstly, if you've had multiple children attend a nursery using ParentZone, you'll have the choice of which child's photos you want to download. You can also choose the date range for what you want to include in the download and even choose which types of posts you want to download, such as Photos, Assessments, or Learning Stories.

This flexibility is really useful in allowing you to use the extension in different ways. Maybe you want to download all of your child's photos on a regular basis, say every 1 - 2 months, to make them easier to share with family. Or maybe your child has finished at nursery and you're looking for a solution to bulk download all of their photos for their entire time at nursery in one go.

When you're ready, simply click the "Start Download" button and the extension will then begin downloading all of the selected photos and content, saving them directly to your computer in a neatly organized folder structure. Nursery Memories creates a folder in your default downloads folder and organises all the photos, videos, and documents into subfolders by child name, making it easy to find and enjoy your child's nursery memories.

The Little Things

They say it's the little things in life that really matter, and we really believe that. Many of the posts not only contain a photo but also some notes from your child's carer at nursery explaining what they were doing in the photo, or if they had just said something funny or adorable. To make sure these little details aren't lost, Nursery Memories saves these notes as metadata embedded within the photo files themselves. When you view the photos later using compatible software, you'll be able to see the accompanying notes and captions, preserving the full context of each memory.

Troubleshooting & FAQs

Sometimes not everything goes to plan. If you've got any questions take a look at the FAQ section to see if your question has already been answered there. If you can't find the answer you're looking for, or something isn't quite working as expected, don't hesitate to reach out to our support team for assistance at support@nurserymemories.com.
