What the phone looks like for a Edinburgh nursery
Edinburgh and the wider the Lothians has a population of around 900,000, built on finance, tourism and a large stock of period property. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a nursery working across Leith, Morningside and Stockbridge most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
A nursery place is worth thousands a year and parents visit the first two settings that answer.
Callwise answers on your own 0131 number. Customers ring the number they already have, it is answered on the first ring by something that sounds like a person, and the job is booked into your diary before the caller has thought about trying anybody else.
When Edinburgh calls go unanswered
- 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 Edinburgh callers want

Edinburgh nurseries ask us
Do we keep our 0131 number?
Yes. Your existing 0131 number stays exactly as it is and keeps ringing your phones. Calls only reach the assistant when nobody picks up, or at the hours you choose, so nothing about how Edinburgh customers reach you changes.
Do you work with nurseries outside Edinburgh?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Edinburgh and everywhere across the Lothians is covered the same way, along with the rest of the UK. The local part is your number and your customers, and both stay yours.
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.

Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Edinburgh customer would ask. It is the same assistant your callers would get, so if it does not convince you on the phone it will not convince them either.
