Guides

Guides for nursery owners and managers

Plain answers on the rules and the numbers that shape a nursery website: Ofsted report cards, the April 2026 charging guidance, photo consent, software, recruitment and local search. Every figure is dated and sourced.

Ofsted report cards: what to put on your nursery website

What replaced single-word grades, when the old logo must come down, and how to show the report card properly.

The nursery pricing page rules from April 2026

What the DfE statutory guidance now requires of your fees page: voluntary extras, no deposits on funded places, published charges, itemised invoices.

How much does a nursery website cost in the UK?

Real, named prices from template platforms, freelancers and agencies, what each buys, and where ours sit.

Nursery management software compared: prices and website forms

Famly, Ovivio, eyworks, Nursery in a Box, Tapestry, Kinderly and the rest, with published prices and which ones give your website an enquiry form.

Connecting Famly enquiries to your nursery website

How the Famly enquiry form works on a website, what to tag, and what parents see.

How to fill nursery places from local search

The parent search numbers town by town, what a click costs, and what a district page does that an advert cannot.

Photos of children on nursery websites: the consent rules

What UK GDPR and the ICO say, what a consent form needs, and how to handle withdrawal and social media.

A nursery careers page that actually recruits

What to publish, the job-posting markup Google reads, and why the application form matters more than the job description.
