Then let us help you fill them with a listing in our directory.

90% of visitors to this site are Parents sending their child to nursery for the first time.

And that means they are probably babies who in the long term generate the most revenue for you because they are with you the longest amount of time - potentially four and a half years and then of course if a sibling comes along you have a double wammy! From the contact we have with Parents via phone calls and email, our statistics show that 90% of the Parents visiting Childcare Directory are first time Parents who are sending their Child to Nursery for the first time.

Whats more our website usage patterns show us that a great deal of the visitors use our site in the evenings, usually after the children's bedtime or at weekends. Evening time most nurseries are closed so phone calls will always have to be the next day (or next week if it is the weekend) Parents are more likely to remember a full listing with all the information about your setting rather than just a one liner with your name and number. It is always the full listings that parents take time over, be impressed by and contact first.

If you spend any money at all on childcare advertising online then have a Full Listing in our directory. We guarantee you will see measurable results. Sign up for a Full Listing Now.

What Do I Get? You have a whole page dedicated to you and your setting with the page title as the name of your setting. A large copy of your logo so if Parents have seen your logo before they will instantly recognise it and a photo of the outside of your building so Parents can see what your setting looks like. Then all your contact details - full address, telephone number, web & email address and a link to Google maps so Parents can see exactly where you are.       Then moving down into the main content of the page this is where you can explain to Parents and show them how wonderful your setting is by having as much information as you can provide about each of the rooms. You can have up to 12 photographs and pictures of inside your setting and the outside play area too so Parents can see what your setting is like before they even visit. Don't forget Parents who visit this site are Parents who haven't sent their little one to nursery before, they don't know what provision is out there so they turn to the internet to find out. These Parents are probably your most lucrative because they have a young baby and they have to go back to work and sometimes don't have a choice about sending their baby to nursery, so here is your chance to sell the benefits of them coming to your nursery and not going to another one somewhere else.     And we're not through yet, next all your contact details are displayed again. We repeat this saving Parents the bother of having to scroll back up to the top of the page to find your telephone number or email address or of course to link through to your website. Under that are all your other details like your opening hours, the age range you cater for, your nearest school, the number of weeks you are open in the year and how many children you are registered for. After that all your other facilities that you provide for Parents and finally a link to your Ofsted report so Parents have the option of reading it if they want to. There are several directories out there but none of them provide as much information and details as we do!

If you are just starting out setting up a day nursery or registering as a childminder this is a great way to get your new provision or service found by Parents looking for childcare. Or if you are an existing provision and you have spaces to fill, advertise in Childcare Directory. Sign up Now.

Benefits and Features of having a Full Listing

• Our directory had over 21,600 unique visits last month - thats over a third of a million page hits. These are highly targeted visitors who are looking for childcare and contacting nurseries listed in our directory.
  
  
• A dedicated static web page that search engines list (NOT a dynamic page) with a full description about your nursery and facilities giving Parents lots of information about your setting.
  
  
• Email and website links to your own website (if you have one) so Parents can contact you directly and find your website easily. This incoming link is VERY valuable to your website ranking.
  
  
• Parents see your full listing first because they are featured right at the top of the page above all the one liners. (Full listings are placed on a first come first served basis)
  
  
• Your Full Listing links to a whole web page dedicated entirely to your Nursery. It is in effect a 'mini website' of your own! This is great if you don't have a website already and great if you do* because search engines like Google will rank your site higher with an incoming link from Childcare Directory.
  
  
• Your Full Listing allows you to have your nursery logo and up to 12 photographs of your setting so Parents can see the wonderful facilities you provide. Why would they want to go anywhere else?
  
  
• You can even advertise your Nursery job vacancies at no extra cost - It's Free - saving on advertising costs.
  
  
• Every 6 months we will send you a graph showing your adverts performance on how many people have viewed your listing.

* If you already have a website, consolidate the investment you have already made by having a Full Listing and an incoming link to your website from Childcare Directory. This will not only bring many more potential clients to your site, but also help enormously to improve the search engine ranking of your web site. Search engines place a great deal of value to an incoming link from a high ranking site in the same sector. This alone is worth ten times the full listing fee and will help make your site much much easier to find.
