What's New

Every release, explained in plain English. Updates install automatically through Chrome, so you always have the newest version.

Version 1.29 (late August to October 2026)

  • Storypark and Xplor Home support. NurseryDownloader now works with Storypark and Xplor Home, the apps many early learning centres in Australia and New Zealand use. Sign in on the web, click once, and every photo and video saves into a folder for each child. Videos that Xplor only streams can't be saved as files, so the extension skips them and tells you how many.
  • ParentZone videos save as videos. ParentZone videos now save with their own video file type: .mp4, or .mov for videos recorded on an iPhone.
  • The Famly learning journey from your child's profile. Downloading from a child's profile page now includes the photos in their learning journey, not just their tagged photos.
  • More Procare schools. Works on Procare schools that use their own branded web address, as well as the standard Procare Connect site.

Version 1.28 (August 2026)

  • ParentZone written notes. The nursery's written notes from each post now save as a dated text file beside that post's photos, because those words exist nowhere else and get much harder to reach once your child leaves.
  • Famly learning journey. Famly downloads now fetch every learning journey entry directly, including older ones the feed no longer shows.
  • Check for updates. A button in Settings checks for a new version and installs it, never in the middle of a download.
  • Big archives finish. A very large Famly feed can now be saved over more than one sitting, and downloads run faster while waiting patiently whenever an app asks them to slow down.

Versions 1.18 to 1.27 (late July and early August 2026)

  • ParentZone videos. Videos in your ParentZone gallery download alongside the photos.
  • Procare daily activity photos. Photos and videos posted to Procare's daily activity feed are now included as well as the gallery.
  • Further back in Famly. Famly downloads reach further back through long feeds, read European dates correctly, and no longer stop at a single unreadable post.
  • Expired links recovered. If Famly photo links expire part-way through a long download, the extension fetches fresh ones and carries on instead of skipping photos.

Version 1.16 (July 2026)

  • Kidizz, Meeko and Bitcare support. NurseryDownloader now works with Kidizz and Meeko, used by crèches in France, and Bitcare, used by childcare centres in the Netherlands. Every photo and video downloads in one go.

Version 1.11 (July 2026)

  • KinderCare & Lillio (HiMama) support. NurseryDownloader now works with the KinderCare parent app and Lillio (formerly HiMama). Sign in, click once, and download every photo and video for all of your children.

Version 1.9 (July 2026)

  • Procare support. NurseryDownloader now works with Procare (Procare Connect), one of the most widely used daycare apps in the US. Open your child's Photos page and download every photo and video in one click, at full quality, organised into folders.

Version 1.8 (July 2026)

  • Choose your folders. By popular request: tick "Save everything into one folder" under Advanced and photos skip the month-by-month subfolders. Filenames still start with the photo's date, so everything stays in order.

Version 1.7 (July 2026)

A polish release focused on knowing where you stand.

  • Clearer free trial. When your 20 free downloads are used, the panel tells you straight away instead of part-way through a download, and the counter updates live as you go.
  • Smarter progress. Fixed a bug where the progress bar could stop one photo short of 100% at the end of a trial run.
  • Faster fixes when nursery apps change. If Famly or ParentZone change their website and downloads stop working, the extension now lets us know anonymously, so we can usually ship a fix before most parents ever notice. No personal data and no photos are ever included.

Version 1.6 (July 2026)

The biggest feature release yet.

  • Organised folders. Photos now save into Nursery Downloader/[child or Feed]/[month]/ inside your Downloads folder, instead of one giant pile. Filenames start with the date the photo was posted, so everything sorts in order.
  • Full-quality originals. Downloads are now the resolution your nursery uploaded, which is often more than double what was saved before.
  • Captions spreadsheet. Famly feed downloads include a photo-captions.csv with the date, caption and filenames for every post, so each photo keeps its story.
  • Date range filter. Download just a term, a year, or everything since your last backup.
  • Backup your download history. Export it as a file and import it on a new computer, and nothing downloads twice.
  • Cancel button. Stop a big batch at any time; everything already saved stays saved.
  • A much better help guide. Step-by-step instructions for Famly and ParentZone, a tour of the panel, and a support email that fills in the technical details for you.

Version 1.5 (July 2026)

  • Famly compatibility fixes. Famly updated their website in July 2026; this release restored photo collection, per-post download buttons, and the links to each child's tagged photos.

Version 1.4 (June 2026)

  • ParentZone compatibility fixes. ParentZone rebuilt their photo gallery; this release restored gallery downloads by reading their new photo system directly.

Version 1.3 (May 2026)

  • Famly feed fixes. Restored the "Download All Feed Photos" flow after a Famly redesign changed their feed layout.

Version 1.2 (February 2026)

  • Progress bars and download tracking. See exactly how a big download is going, get a summary at the end, and never download the same photo twice.
  • Friendlier messages throughout, written for parents rather than programmers.

Earlier versions

Versions 1.0 and 1.1 introduced the essentials: one-click download of your Famly feed or ParentZone gallery, tagged-photo downloads for each child, video downloads from the Famly feed, and the free 20-photo trial.
