When someone asks for a nursery near me with places for a two-year-old, is it you?
Parents start looking months ahead, usually at night, usually on a phone. They search by area, read what comes back and shortlist the settings that answer their questions. If yours doesn't say where you are, what you charge and whether you take funded hours, you're not on the list.
By running the check you agree to our terms. Results are automated and not a guarantee.
Two minutes. No sign-up, no card. You keep the results.
What we usually find on nurseries’ websites
- No page about funded hours, fees or availability, the three things every parent asks first
- Opening hours and the age range missing from the site and from Google
- The Ofsted report not linked, so parents go looking elsewhere and don't come back
- A gallery of photos as the whole site, with nothing a search engine can read
Your check reads up to 25 pages of your site and scores it for Google search, direct answers and AI assistants, then shows the biggest problems in full. If you want them fixed, Deplova does it on a monthly package. See the packages.
What a nursery’s website needs to be found
Google, the direct-answer boxes and AI assistants all want the same three things from a nursery’s site. The check tells you which of them yours already has.
- 1A page per room or age group, with the ages, the hours and the fees
- 2Funded hours, the Ofsted rating and your registration, stated where people and machines can read them
- 3How to book a visit, in one obvious place
In structured data, the site should declare its type as ChildCare, schema.org’s word for it, with the name, address, phone number and opening hours. That is how a machine files the business under the right heading. The check reports whether yours does.
Questions nurseries ask us
We have a waiting list. Why would we want more enquiries?
A waiting list today is empty rooms in a couple of years as families move on. Being easy to find keeps the list full, and the check is free either way.
