Little Plate

Accessibility

Last updated:

Parenting a small child is hard enough without your tools getting in the way. We want Little Plate — the app and this website — to work for everyone, including people who use screen readers, magnification, voice control, switch access or larger text.

This website

We aim for WCAG 2.2 level AA. Concretely, this site:

  • uses semantic HTML with proper landmarks, headings and labels, and includes a skip-to-content link;
  • keeps text contrast at or above 4.5:1 — including on our brand orange, which we deliberately pair with dark text;
  • is fully usable with a keyboard, with a clearly visible focus indicator that is never removed;
  • respects your reduced-motion preference and contains no autoplaying media, flashing content or time limits;
  • scales cleanly to 200% zoom and large text sizes, and works in portrait and landscape;
  • works without JavaScript for all content, including this statement, the privacy policy and terms.

The app

In the Little Plate iOS app we support:

  • VoiceOver — controls are labelled, and logging a meal end-to-end works by screen reader;
  • Dynamic Type — layouts adapt to larger text sizes;
  • large touch targets and an interface designed to be used one-handed, probably while holding a toddler;
  • multiple ways to do everything — every AI feature (photo logging, nursery sheet reading) has a manual, typed alternative, so no capability is locked behind taking a photo.

Known limitations

  • The app is currently light-mode only; system dark mode is not yet respected.
  • AI-read nursery sheets and photo analyses always require visual confirmation of a summary screen — we're continuing to refine how that summary is announced to screen readers.

Tell us what's broken

If anything in Little Plate is hard or impossible for you to use, that's a bug — please email james@bodkin.studio with "Accessibility" in the subject line. Accessibility reports go to the top of the pile, and we'll reply within two working days.

Reviewing this statement

This statement was prepared on 10 June 2026 and is reviewed whenever we ship a significant change to the app or this site.
