Sound familiar?

Most nurseries don't have an enquiry problem.
They have a follow-up problem.

“
We get enquiries, but not enough of them turn into tours.
“
Parents ring while we're on the floor and we never call back in time.
“
Our waiting list is a spreadsheet nobody has opened since September.
“
Everything depends on me, and I can't keep working evenings.

A parent choosing a nursery is often speaking to two or three settings at once. The one that replies first and keeps in touch usually wins. Childcare OS makes sure that's you.

How it works

From first enquiry to first day, on autopilot

Set it up once. Every family then gets the same fast, warm, professional journey, even when your team is busy with the children.

1

Enquiry lands in one inbox

Website, Facebook, Instagram, Google, email or phone. Nothing gets missed.

2

Instant reply, day or night

A friendly email and text go out in seconds with a link to book a tour.

3

Tour booked, reminders sent

Parents pick a slot in your diary. Automatic reminders cut no-shows.

4

Nurtured all the way to enrolled

Follow-ups, tasks for your team and a gentle waitlist nurture for families who aren't ready yet.

Why we built it

Built by a childcare business owner

As a business owner, there are a million different software options out there. There are lots of different CRMs. It can become very confusing and overwhelming, and you feel like it is not for your specific business. That is why we created Childcare OS: specifically for childcare business owners to maximise how they market themselves, get their leads, nurture their leads, and increase their conversion rates. We built the system we needed, proved it in our own nurseries, and now we are sharing it with others.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Does this replace my nursery management software?

No, and it isn't meant to. Your nursery management software (Famly, Blossom, Parenta and so on) runs registers, learning journals and invoicing. Childcare OS handles everything before a child starts: enquiries, tours, follow-up, waitlists, reviews and marketing. The two work side by side.

Is it built for UK nurseries?

Yes. The templates, language and support are written for UK settings, including funded hours enquiries.

I'm not very technical. Will I manage?

Yes. We set it up with you, the templates are already written, and your team only needs to learn a few screens to get started. Our support team is there whenever you get stuck.

Can I bring my existing contacts and waiting list?

Yes. We'll help you import your current enquiries, waiting list and parent contacts from a spreadsheet or your old system.

Do I need to move my website?

No. You can keep your current website and add our enquiry forms to it. If you'd like a new website, you can build one inside Childcare OS with hosting included, or have our Growth Services team build it for you.

What if I have more than one setting?

Childcare OS supports any number of settings for one simple price: £199/month per company in the UK or $199/month per company in the US.

Is there a contract?

We keep pricing simple, with one monthly price and setup included when you sign up today.
