Services · Website development · Childcare websites
Codeeo offers childcare website development UK nursery groups, preschools, childminder agencies and out of school clubs use to fill places and answer parents properly. We plan and build the site that sits in front of your settings: setting pages, funded hours explained for each nation, enquiry and show round requests, policies, vacancies and your latest inspection report. When a provider runs settings in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, one website has to describe four regulators and four funding systems without confusing anyone.
Your website is where parents decide whether to call, and where local authority officers, job applicants and inspectors often look first. We build it to be accurate, accessible and easy for your managers to keep current, with children's privacy treated as a design rule rather than a paragraph in a policy.

What the website includes
Parents comparing childcare usually arrive with three questions: is there a place near me, what will it cost once funding is applied, and can I trust these people with my child. A national provider also has to answer recruits, commissioners and local authority teams, often from the same site. The structure below is where we usually begin for a group operating in more than one nation. Each setting gets its own page with its own regulator, registration details and inspection report, while head office controls the brand, the group policies and everything that is the same everywhere. Content is managed in a CMS your area managers can use without calling a developer, with approval steps so nothing about funding, fees or safeguarding goes live unchecked.
A finder that lets parents search by postcode, town or workplace and see each nursery, club or childminder with age range, opening times and whether places are available. Results show which nation the setting is in, so the funding and regulator information that follows is the right one for that family.
Parents land on the setting nearest to them, not a generic group page.
Separate, plainly written pages for England's funded hours and working parent entitlement, Scotland's funded early learning and childcare, the Childcare Offer for Wales and the arrangements in Northern Ireland, each linked from the settings it applies to. Tax-Free Childcare is explained once and referenced everywhere, so wording stays consistent when government rules change.
Fewer calls asking whether funding applies at a particular setting.
Each setting page carries its registration details and its latest report from Ofsted, the Care Inspectorate, Care Inspectorate Wales or the relevant Northern Ireland health and social care trust. Managers update these fields when a new report is published, and the change shows on the setting page and in the finder at once.
Inspection information stays current and correctly attributed.
Forms ask for the child's age, preferred start date, days needed and setting, then route the request to that manager and into your CRM or nursery software. Parents can request a show round time, and the confirmation page explains what happens next instead of leaving them guessing.
Every enquiry has a named owner and a clear next step.
Safeguarding, complaints, admissions, fees and privacy policies published as accessible web pages rather than scanned PDFs, each with a review date and version history. Group policies sit centrally, and local variations, such as a Scottish setting's complaints route to the Care Inspectorate, are added per nation.
Parents and inspectors read the same current version.
Vacancies listed per setting with role, qualification level and nation, so a practitioner role in England and a role needing SSSC registration in Scotland are each described correctly. Applications flow to your HR or applicant tracking system, and the copy explains your vetting, including DBS, PVG or AccessNI checks.
Better matched applicants and fewer questions about checks.
Photos of children appear only where your consent records allow it. Each image in the media library carries a consent flag and an expiry date, and the CMS warns editors before an unflagged image is published. Where consent is missing, activity and room photos without faces take their place.
No child appears online without a recorded parental decision.
Built to WCAG 2.2 AA so parents using screen readers, magnification or keyboards can complete an enquiry, which supports your duties under the Equality Act 2010. Settings in Wales can publish Welsh and English pages side by side with proper language switching, written by people rather than machine translated.
More parents can use the site, in the language they prefer.
Distinct, substantial setting pages with schema.org ChildCare markup, consistent names and addresses, and a matching Google Business Profile for every location. Search engines understand which setting serves which town, and each page earns its own local visibility instead of competing with its siblings.
Settings rank for their own towns, not against each other.
Who this is for
National childcare organisations rarely start from a blank page. Most have a dated site, a set of setting microsites that grew separately, or a franchise network where every operator built their own. The starting point changes the plan, so we look at what exists before proposing anything. Good childcare website design UK families respond to is calm, factual and quick to use on a phone, and that holds whichever situation below sounds like yours. In each case the aim is one accurate source parents can trust and less admin for the people running settings.
Each acquired nursery arrives with its own domain, branding and parent loyalty. We plan how those sites fold into the group site, which old addresses redirect to which setting page, and how to keep the local name parents know while showing the group behind it. Search visibility built up by the old sites is protected through careful redirect mapping and content migration, and setting managers keep control of their own news and photos after the move.
Redirect mapping happens before any old domain is switched off.
A group running nurseries in England and Scotland, or clubs in England and Wales, needs content that never mixes up regulators, funding or vetting schemes. We tag every setting with its nation and pull in the right funding page, complaints route and inspection body automatically. Scottish settings sit under a separate legal system and a different regulator, and their pages say so plainly rather than borrowing wording written for England.
Agencies registered with Ofsted, and networks that support independent childminders, need profiles for many small settings with consistent quality. We build childminder profiles that show a home area rather than an exact address, along with availability, age ranges and approved photos, so families can compare without the site exposing anyone's home. The agency approves every profile before it goes live.
Exact home addresses are never shown publicly.
Franchisors need a shared brand with local pages that franchisees can edit within limits. Breakfast, after school and holiday club providers need term dates, partner school lists and holiday programme pages that change every few weeks. We set editing permissions so franchisees update their own sessions and photos while brand, policies and safeguarding wording stay locked to head office.
How we work together
Codeeo has no UK office. Our team of 80+ across Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi works with UK providers remotely, and discovery, design reviews and training all happen by video call. Most groups start with a fixed scope build covering the group site and the setting pages, then keep a retainer for new settings, content updates and search work. Groups with heavier integration needs sometimes take a dedicated team that also looks after their parent portal and internal tools.
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
Usually WordPress or a headless CMS with Next.js, chosen by how many editors you have, how many settings you run and which nursery software and CRM must connect. Hosting is set up in your own accounts, with backups and security updates scheduled.

A group site, a page for every setting and the tools behind them.
We plan the information architecture, write the content model, design templates, build the CMS and setting finder, connect enquiry forms to your systems and migrate any existing sites. For a group spanning nations, much of the planning goes into getting funding, regulator and vetting information right for each setting. Everything is scoped in discovery and written down before design begins, so you know which settings launch first and which follow later.
