The write-up
What a nursery or childminder website has to do
Parents choosing childcare read carefully. They want the inspection report, the fees, the session times and whether funded hours can be used, and then they want a feel for what a day with you is like. If any of those is missing, they ring three other settings first, or don’t ring at all. A clear website saves you repeating the same answers on the phone during the busiest part of the day.
We put the facts up front. A link to your latest Ofsted report if you’re in England, or your Care Inspectorate Wales report if you’re in Wales. Session times and daily rates with what’s included. A plain explanation of the funded hours you take, with a note to check the current scheme, because funding changes and differs on each side of the border.
Then the part that helps parents decide. Your daily routine from drop-off to pick-up, real photos of the rooms and outdoor space, what children eat, and how settling in works. If you use a key person approach, we explain it in a sentence or two. Childminders get the same treatment at a smaller scale: your home setting, your qualifications and how many children you care for.
Language matters here too. Many families in Powys want Welsh-medium or bilingual childcare, and some on the English side do as well. If you offer it, we make it clear and can add Welsh-language content. Finally, a visit request and waiting list form that sends enquiries straight to your inbox, so places fill without a phone queue. When fees or session times change, email us and we update the site, usually the same day.
Shropshire & Powys borders
Childcare along the Welsh borders.
Families here live on both sides of the border, and the rules, inspectors and funding schemes differ between England and Wales. The website should make clear which apply to you.
Shropshire
Shrewsbury
The county town has the most families comparing settings. Clear fees and a link to your Ofsted report help you stand out.
Shrewsbury page → Shropshire OswestryA market town close to the border, so some families work in Wales and live in England, or the other way round. Be clear about which funding you take.
Oswestry page → Powys WelshpoolSettings in Welshpool are inspected by Care Inspectorate Wales, and Welsh-speaking families will look for Welsh-medium or bilingual options.
Welshpool page → Powys NewtownPowys's largest town has the most families looking for childcare in mid Wales. Link your Care Inspectorate Wales report and explain Welsh-language provision.
Newtown page → Shropshire LudlowFamilies in and around Ludlow often travel in from villages. Opening hours that fit a commute and a clear Ofsted link matter most.
Ludlow page → Powys KnightonA small town on the border regulated by Welsh bodies, with families spread across hill farms around it. Flexible sessions and travel times are worth explaining.

Questions from nurseries and childminders
Should we link to our inspection report?
Yes. Parents expect to find it. We link to your latest Ofsted report in England, or your Care Inspectorate Wales report in Wales, so it always points to the current version.
Can you explain funded hours on the site?
We set out which funded hours you take and how they work with your fees, in plain words. Schemes change and differ between England and Wales, so we always add a note asking parents to check the current scheme.
Can parents book a visit online?
Yes. We add a visit request and waiting list form that sends each enquiry straight to your inbox. If you use a childcare management system with its own enquiry link, we can link to that instead.
Can the site be in Welsh as well as English?
We can add Welsh-language content or a Welsh version of key pages, which matters to many families in Powys. Tell us what you’d like and we’ll plan it with you.
How much does it cost?
£47 a month, including design, writing, hosting and ten changes a month. There’s no setup fee and no contract.
