We have two levels of listings for Nurseries, Playgroups, Out of School Care and Childminders. Full Listings and Free Listings.

Free listings are exactly that. Free. We list your nursery name, postal town and contact number. These are listed in alphabetical order by postal town. However if you are serious about your nursery you should really opt for a Full Listing.

Our website usage patterns show us that a great deal of the visitors who use our site use it 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) It will always be the full listings that parents will take time over, be impressed by and usually call 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.

What are the benefits of having a Full Listing in Childcare Directory?

• Our directory had over 13500 unique visitors last month with over 50% of those making over three page requests. 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 full listings are featured right at the top of the page above all free listings. (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.

Just think how much more this would attract parents looking for childcare than a Free Listing.

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.

A Full Listing for a Nursery costs just £45, for a Playgroup and Out of School Club £35 and Childminders only £25 for the whole year. You don't even have to pay up front! Send us your details and when we have done your listing and you are happy with it we will send you an invoice.

This is a fraction of the price of some directories and is actually free if your website is hosted by Oyster Web Design (See our Web Site Design service Click HERE). It puts your setting in front of the parents who are searching for places and will always make a good first impression.

* 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.
