Settings we build for
Preschool website design
"preschool near me" has 6,600 UK searches a month, peaking at 9,900 in January, March and September (DataforSEO, September 2026). Sessional and term-time settings, many of them charity or committee run, need a site that handles the universal 15 hours, the term-time intake cycle and a small budget. That is the Starter package.
A pre-school or playgroup website needs its session timetable first, then the universal 15 funded hours and the 30 for eligible working parents set out in plain numbers, the committee or charity governance, and an enquiry form for the September intake. Most sessional settings fit the eight-page Starter build at £1,495, live in two to five weeks.
What this build gets right
Sessions, not rooms
Morning, lunch club, afternoon, and which days. Parents of three-year-olds plan around the universal 15 hours and their own work, and they need the timetable before anything else.
The funded hours page for a sessional setting
The universal 15 hours for every three and four year old, the 30 for eligible working parents, and how a term-time setting spreads them. The DfE guidance on voluntary extras applies to snack and trip charges just as it does to a day nursery's meals.
Committee and charity governance
Who runs the setting, the charity number where there is one, how parents join the committee. Trustees are the reviewers of the website, so it is written to be signed off by a committee in writing.
Starter package, 2 to 5 weeks
Up to eight pages, the fees and sessions page built to the 2026 guidance, and an enquiry form, from £1,495 with the £50 a month care plan on top.

How a build runs, start to finish
Four steps. You see a fixed price and a page plan before anything is designed.
1. Tell us about your nursery
Four details in the form. Then a short brief: rooms, ages, fees, funded hours, any software you use, the towns you draw from.
2. You get your quote
A fixed price, a page plan and a live date, within one working day. No call, unless you want one.
3. Design and build
You see a design first. Two rounds of revisions. Then we build every page and connect your enquiry form to your software.
4. Live in 2 to 6 weeks
We handle domain and hosting. You get a written handover and a care plan from £50 a month.
Bring us a look you like, or nothing at all
A competitor's site you admire, a colour, a mood board, a photo of your baby room. We design around it. These six show the range, not the menu. Pick one as a starting point, bring a site you love, or describe something nobody has built yet. You are never limited to these six: we design whatever your nursery needs.

Firefly Nursery
The team designed and developed our new website and continue to work with us on an ongoing basis through their SEO and AI Visibility package. They’re helping us strengthen our presence on Google and across emerging AI search platforms, so more local parents can discover our nursery online. It’s great having one team looking after both our website and our long-term digital visibility.
Oak Tree Nursery
We wanted a website that really captured the warmth and personality of our nursery and gave parents confidence in choosing us. The finished website does exactly that. It showcases our setting beautifully, explains what we offer clearly and makes it incredibly easy for prospective parents to arrange a visit or get in touch.
More enquiries from local parents
Our new website has made a huge difference to our online presence. Parents can quickly understand what makes our nursery special and easily take the next step to arrange a visit. We’ve had fantastic feedback on how professional, welcoming and easy to use the website is.
Questions nursery owners ask
We are a committee-run charity. Who signs things off?
Whoever the committee nominates, in writing. The quote, the design and the pages are all approved by email, which suits a committee that meets monthly. No call at any stage, unless you want one.
Do we need district pages as a small pre-school?
Usually one or two. A village pre-school draws from the village and the next one along; a page for each, with directions and the school links, is enough. The Starter package includes them.
Our intake is September only. When should the site go live?
Before the January search peak. "preschool near me" hits 9,900 searches in January and again in March; parents choose in spring for September. A site live by December catches both.
How much does a nursery website cost?
A nursery website in the UK costs between about £1,000 and £6,000 as a one-off build, plus £20 to £60 a month to keep it running. Ours are £1,495 for a single setting of up to eight pages, £2,995 for an established nursery and £5,995 for a group of two or more, with a £50 a month care plan on top. Monthly-only offers from £15 to £40 exist, but you usually rent the site rather than own it.
How long does it take to build a nursery website?
Two to five weeks for a single setting, three to five for an established nursery, four to six for a group. The clock starts when your brief is complete. The slow part is almost always waiting for fees, room details and staff names, so the faster you send those the sooner it is live.
Will our website meet Ofsted and EYFS requirements?
Ofsted does not inspect or approve websites, so no website is "Ofsted compliant" and you should be careful of anyone selling that phrase. What a website can do is show your inspection outcome accurately. Since November 2025 inspections produce a colour-coded report card across evaluation areas instead of one overall word, so we build the section to display the areas and link to your published report.
Do we own the website at the end?
Yes. On completion and full payment the files are yours, as plain HTML with no proprietary platform to be locked into. Domains we register go in your name where the registrar allows it, and transfer to you free of charge whenever you ask, including if you stop the care plan.
Do we have to write the content?
No. We draft every page from your brief and you edit it in writing. Fees pages use your numbers. We will not write a claim, an award or a review you cannot substantiate, and we will say so rather than quietly writing it anyway.
