The problem

Why nurseries miss so many calls

A nursery place is worth thousands a year and parents visit the first two settings that answer.

When the phone rings out

  • all day, because staff are with children and cannot leave the room
  • drop off and pick up, the busiest phone times
  • evenings, when parents ring

What they are ringing about

  • availability for a specific age group
  • fees and funded hours
  • booking a look round

What that costs a single site

£184,600

a month, on conservative assumptions

About 19 missed calls a week. Assume only a third would have become customers, that is roughly 6 a week, and one customer is worth £6,800 to a nursery. Change any of those to your own figures and the answer stays uncomfortable.

What it does

Built around how a nursery actually works

Answers availability by age group

Explains fees and funded hours

Books show rounds

Answers during the times staff cannot leave the room

It tells callers what it is

It says it is an assistant when it picks up. It gives no advice it is not qualified to give, and anything on your escalation list stops the conversation and reaches you straight away. For a nursery that matters more than the clever bits, because the calls you cannot afford to get wrong are the ones you most need answered.

Questions

What nurseries ask us

Our staff cannot leave the children. Who answers?

Nobody can, which is why nurseries miss so many enquiries. Ratios mean the phone genuinely cannot be prioritised, and a place is worth thousands a year.

Can it explain funded hours?

From your own wording, which is the most asked and most misunderstood question you get.

Will it book show rounds?

Straight into your diary, which is the step that converts an enquiry into a registration.
