Services · Website development · Childcare websites
Our childcare website development Birmingham service is for day nurseries, preschools, childminders and wraparound clubs that want parents to understand them quickly and get in touch. We build websites with clear setting pages, community language content, funded place guidance, SEND information and enquiry routes that reach a real person. Birmingham is a young, multilingual city, and plenty of families are choosing childcare for the first time, so the site has to explain the basics kindly and leave no one stuck on a form they cannot read.
Many Birmingham settings are owner run, with one or two sites and no marketing team. We keep the website simple to edit, quick on any phone and honest about places, so the owner spends less time answering the same questions and more time in the rooms.

What goes into the site
Birmingham families range from student parents near Selly Oak to shift workers in Erdington and households in Sparkbrook or Small Heath where English is a second or third language. A setting in Sutton Coldfield answers different questions from one in Ladywood. Rather than a fixed template, we choose the features that match your families and your size. The list below covers what Birmingham providers ask for most often, from the community language pages that reduce phone calls to the SEND content parents look for before they ever enquire. Everything is edited in a CMS designed for an owner or manager with ten spare minutes, not a web team, and each feature can be added later if you would rather launch with the essentials first.
Key pages such as admissions, funding, settling in and fees explained in the languages your families use, which in many Birmingham settings means Urdu, Punjabi, Bengali, Arabic, Somali or Polish alongside English. Each version is reviewed by a fluent speaker, marked up correctly for search engines and reachable from a simple language switch at the top of the page.
Parents read the essentials without needing a relative to translate.
For each setting, a page that names its area, such as Moseley, Harborne, Kings Heath or Erdington, and covers the rooms, outdoor space, local schools you collect from and bus routes nearby. Real local content helps parents decide and helps the page appear when they search for nurseries near them.
Each site is visible to the families living around it.
A plain explanation of the funded hours your setting offers, Tax-Free Childcare and how eligibility codes work, with a link out to the official government checker rather than a homemade calculator. Birmingham City Council handles funding claims for settings in the city, and the page tells parents what you need from them and when.
Parents arrive with the right codes and fewer misunderstandings.
Many parents prefer to phone or message rather than fill in a long form. Each setting page offers a short form, a tap to call button and a WhatsApp link to a business number, so the parent chooses. Form enquiries go to the manager's inbox and your nursery software, and the privacy notice explains how each channel is handled.
More enquiries, through the channel each parent is comfortable with.
For breakfast, after school and holiday clubs, pages that list partner schools, collection arrangements, term dates and holiday programmes. Managers update dates and activities each half term in a couple of minutes, and the site hides past programmes automatically so families never read an old timetable.
Club information is current every half term without extra work.
A clear page describing how your setting supports children with special educational needs and disabilities, who your SENCo is, how you work with families and other professionals, and where parents can find Birmingham's Local Offer. Written calmly and specifically, because parents of children with additional needs read these pages closely before they enquire.
Families with additional needs can judge fit before they call.
A parent friendly summary of your safeguarding approach, your designated safeguarding lead role, how concerns are handled and how your practice follows Birmingham Safeguarding Children Partnership arrangements, with the full policy published as an accessible page. No staff personal contact details appear online, only the setting's main number and email.
Parents see safeguarding taken seriously from the first visit to the site.
A trimmed down CMS with only the fields you need: availability by room, news, menus, photos with consent flags, vacancies and term dates. We record short training videos for your team, so a new deputy can update the site without asking anyone, and the menus they cannot break are locked.
The site stays current because updating it is easy.
Managed hosting in your account with daily backups, automatic security updates, a firewall and uptime monitoring. Enquiry data is encrypted in transit and stored with access limited to named staff, in line with your UK GDPR responsibilities as the data controller for those enquiries.
Fewer outages and no forgotten plugin updates.
Who this is for
Childcare in Birmingham is spread across a large city and its edges, with families who cross into Solihull or Sandwell for work and nurseries that draw children from several wards. Some providers are building a first proper website; others are replacing one a relative built years ago. These four situations cover most of the Birmingham settings that come to us, and each leads to a different shape of site. Good childcare website design Birmingham parents respond to is warm, clear and practical, and it works on an older phone as well as a new one.
One setting, a strong reputation by word of mouth and a website that does not reflect it. We build a compact site with a homepage that answers the main questions, room pages, a funding page, a safeguarding page and an enquiry form connected to your inbox. It is designed so a second setting can be added later without rebuilding anything.
The structure leaves room for a second site from day one.
Where most families speak a language other than English at home, the website needs translated essentials, simple wording and plenty of reassurance about settling in. We plan the language versions with you, keep sentences short in English too, and give parents a quick way to call or message so nobody is lost because a form felt too formal.
Short English sentences help every parent, not only those still learning it.
A childminder needs a professional, small site that shows registration, the approach to care, availability and a safe way to make contact, without publishing a home address or photos of children. We build a few well written pages, show the general area only, and make availability easy to switch on and off from a phone.
Your exact address stays private until you choose to share it.
Groups that grew one setting at a time often have a separate site for each. We bring them under one domain with a setting page for each, shared policies and careers, and redirects from the old addresses so existing search visibility moves across. Each manager edits only their own setting's content.
Old addresses redirect to the right setting page, one by one.
How we work together
Codeeo does not have a Birmingham office. Our team of 80+ across Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi works with Birmingham providers remotely, with discovery, design reviews and training held by video call at times agreed with you. Single settings usually choose a fixed scope build. Small groups often add a retainer for ongoing updates and local search work, and a growing group may take a dedicated team to cover its website and connected systems. In each case the scope, the people doing the work and the review points are agreed in writing, and nothing is added to the bill without your approval first.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
Mostly WordPress, because owner managers find it familiar, with lightweight custom blocks for setting pages and language switching. Larger groups can use a headless CMS with Next.js. Hosting stays in your account, with backups and monitoring switched on from launch day.

From a discovery call that fixes the pages, languages and integrations.
We start by listing what parents need from your site and what your team needs to stop doing by phone. That becomes a page list, a language plan and a short list of integrations, such as your nursery software. The plan sets the order of work and the dates for each review, and it is agreed before design begins. A small site with one language moves faster than a group site with several, and content readiness is usually the biggest factor in timing.
