Nursery and school websites

Welcome Page is a small UK studio. We write, build and look after websites for nurseries, pre-schools and schools, so parents find what they need and book a visit.

£495 for a nursery site, paid once. No monthly fee. Live in about two weeks, on a domain and hosting account you own.

Drag to compare. An illustrative example, based on what we found reviewing real nursery websites.

What parents notice first

Parents search on their phone, often late at night, often comparing three or four settings at once. They rarely complain about a website. They move on to the next one.

One full-time place is worth around £14,000 a year. If your website wins you one extra family, it has paid for itself many times over.

On the screenWhat they think
A “Not secure” warning next to your web address“Is it safe to send my details here?”
Fees and term dates from a few years ago“Are they even still open?”
“Lorem ipsum” or “Your title here” still on the page“Did anyone check this?”
Tiny text that needs pinching and zooming on a phone“I’ll look at the next one.”
A web address that leads nowhere“They must have closed.”
No website at all, just a directory listing“I can’t picture my child there.”

What we build

Nurseries, pre-schools and clubs

Built around the questions families ask, in the order they ask them.

Your inspection report
Your latest Ofsted, CIW or Care Inspectorate outcome, linked to the full report.
Sessions, fees and funded hours
Prices, session times and how funded hours work at your setting, in plain English.
Book a visit and waiting list
Short forms that land in your inbox. No logins for parents.
A day with you
Rooms, routines, naps, menus, allergies and how the key person works.
Your team
Who parents will meet, their qualifications and paediatric first aid.
Policies and safeguarding
Safeguarding, SEND, complaints and uncollected-child procedures, kept current.

Covers what the EYFS asks you to share with parents, written for your nation: Ofsted in England, Care Inspectorate Wales (with Welsh-language pages if you’d like them) or the Care Inspectorate in Scotland.

Schools and trusts

Primary schools, multi-site nurseries and academy trusts.

Key information
One menu for statutory information, so parents, governors and inspectors find it fast.
Ofsted and performance
Your latest report, plus your page on the Compare School Performance service.
Term dates and events
One calendar, kept current, that parents can check from the school gate.
Letters and newsletters
Post a letter home in a minute. Older ones are archived by term.
Admissions and open days
How to apply, key deadlines and your admission arrangements.
SEND and safeguarding
Your SEN information report, SENCO and safeguarding lead, never buried.

Everything on the DfE’s list of what schools must publish gets a place under one “Key information” menu, and we remind you before deadlines like the pupil premium statement each December.

About two weeks, start to finish

  1. Within 2 working days

    Free website check

    Tell us your setting. We send a short, plain-English note on what parents see today, on a phone and on Google. No obligation.

  2. Week 1

    We write and build

    Send photos and whatever you already have: a leaflet, a prospectus, a few notes. We write the pages and set up your forms.

  3. Week 2

    You check it, we launch

    You review a private preview and ask for changes. Nothing goes live until you’re happy.

  4. After launch

    We look after it

    Hosting, security, restore points and updates are handled. Your first month of email support is free; after that, small changes cost a small fixed fee, agreed first.

Who you’ll work with

You deal with one small team from start to finish. The people who check your current site build the new one, and answer your emails after launch.

We’re new to early years, not to building websites. Before Welcome Page, our team built NexxaScreen and NextSprints, platforms used by universities and thousands of students. Our first settings get our full attention on every page.

Questions

Something else? Email hello@welcomepage.co.uk and a person will reply.

Do I need to write all the words myself?

No. Send us what you have, like an old leaflet, your prospectus or a few notes, and we’ll write the pages in plain English. You check everything before it goes live.

We already have a website. Can you keep our web address?

Yes. We’ll move your existing domain across so parents and old links still find you. If you don’t have one, we’ll help you register it in your name.

Is hosting really free?

Yes. Your site runs on Cloudflare, the network that protects and speeds up a big share of the web, in a free account that belongs to you. Its free plan comfortably covers the traffic a nursery or school gets. In the rare case a site outgrows it, Cloudflare’s small paid plan is billed to you directly, and we’ll tell you well before it’s needed.

What happens when we need changes after launch?

Your first month after launch includes free email support, so new fees, a staff change or a wording tweak are no trouble while you settle in. After that, small updates cost a small fixed fee, quoted before we start. Need it the same day, or something bigger? We’ll give you a price up front and you decide.

Can our staff update the site themselves?

Yes, if you want to. Every site comes with a simple editor for news, policies and photos, so routine updates cost you nothing. Most settings prefer to email us, and that’s fine too.

Do you use photos of the children?

Only with written parental consent on file, and never with names. If you’d rather not, we use photos of your rooms, your team and your garden. Parents notice when a setting takes this seriously.

Will parents find us on Google and Maps?

Yes. We set up or tidy your Google Business Profile so your hours, photos and reviews match your website when parents search for a nursery nearby.

Is the website accessible and GDPR friendly?

We build to WCAG accessibility guidelines, use no tracking cookies by default and keep enquiry form data to what you actually need.

What if we want to leave?

There’s no long contract. Your domain, your content and your hosting account stay yours, and we’ll help you hand over if you ever move on.

See what parents see

Tell us your setting. Within two working days we’ll send a short, honest note on what’s working, what isn’t, and what we’d change.

No website yet? We’ll show you what parents find today when they search for you. No sales call unless you ask for one, and the note is yours to keep.

We only use your details to reply about your website. No mailing lists.
