Parents don't choose childcare on a whim. They research. They read Ofsted reports, look at photos, check locations, and compare every option within driving distance. If your nursery or childminding service doesn't have a proper website, you're not even in the conversation. A Facebook page with a few photos and an out-of-date phone number isn't enough when parents are making one of the most important decisions they'll make for their child.
I'm Laurence, and I build websites for nurseries, childminders, preschools, and after-school clubs. Hand-coded, fast, designed for phones first. Because parents are searching "nursery near me" on their phone during a lunch break, and they need to trust what they see immediately.
Parents looking for childcare want to see your setting, your staff, your Ofsted rating, your hours, your fees, and how to arrange a visit. They want to know what a typical day looks like for their child. They want to see real photos of the actual rooms, the outdoor space, the activities. Not clip art and stock photos of children in a studio.
I build sites that present all of that clearly and warmly. Staff profiles with real photos. A direct link to your Ofsted report. Information about your curriculum, your meals, your policies. Everything a parent needs to feel confident before they even pick up the phone to book a visit.
Childcare is the most trust-dependent sector there is. Your website needs to feel safe, professional, and welcoming. Not flashy, not corporate, not cluttered. Clean, warm, and reassuring. I build sites that reflect the care you put into your setting. If you have Google reviews from happy parents, those go on the site too. Nothing builds trust faster than other parents saying "my child loves it here".
You're in ratio. You can't answer the phone. A parent on your website wants to know if you have spaces for a two-year-old starting in September, what your funded hours policy is, or whether you offer flexible sessions. I build AI chatbots that answer those questions on your website instantly. Trained on your actual availability, fees, funding options, and policies. The parent gets an answer straight away, and you don't lose the enquiry because you were busy with the children. From £199 setup, £20 a month.
A hand-coded website starts at £499 one-off. If you'd rather spread the cost, fully managed sites start from £30 a month, which includes hosting, SSL, support and updates whenever your fees, sessions, or staff change. Nothing upfront on the monthly option.
I also set up business email on your own domain from £8 a month, and run local SEO campaigns so parents in your area find you when they search. £199 setup, £20 a month.
If parents can't find you online, they can't choose you. Let's make sure they can.
