Every adult is with a child
A nursery cannot answer the phone during session hours, because every member of staff is legally
required to be somewhere else. Enquiries arrive precisely then and go to voicemail, and parents
researching childcare call three settings in an afternoon.
The receptionist takes those calls, captures the enquiry, and books the tour.
The tour is the decision
A tour that happens is most of the enrolment. This configuration books it on the first contact,
confirms it with what to expect and where to park, reminds at twenty-four hours, one hour and fifteen
minutes, and calls within the hour if the family does not arrive.
A family waiting eight months with no contact has found somewhere else, and the place opens to
silence. Waitlist nurture keeps a light, useful cadence running — settling-in advice, centre news,
an occasional check on their timeline — so the family is still there when a place appears.
Deliberately outside safeguarding
This configuration handles enquiry and enrolment operations only. It does not create a place for
child records or safeguarding information, and it should not be used as one.
Groups running per-setting sub-accounts should look at
bulk sub-account provisioning.
