Childcare Centre Sub-Account Kit

Configured for a centre that cannot reach a phone: enquiries captured during session, tours booked, waitlists nurtured until a place opens.

  • Enquiries captured during session hours, when every adult is with children
  • Waitlist nurture, so families are still engaged when a place finally opens
  • Tour booking and reminders, because a tour that happens is most of the enrolment decision

What is in the kit

Nine components. Exactly nine.

Every SubaccountKit snapshot contains the same nine components and nothing else. What changes between kits is what they are configured to say and do — everything below is written for the Childcare Centre Sub-Account Kit, laid out in the order it runs.

  1. Stage 01Lead capture and first contact

    01

    AI Receptionist

    Answers during session hours when every adult is with children, captures the child's age, days needed and start date, and books a tour rather than promising a call back.

    • Answers during session
    • Captures days and start date
    • English and Spanish
    03

    AI Chatbot

    Answers fees, availability, session and funding questions on the website and Meta at any hour — which is when parents research childcare — and books the tour inside the conversation.

    • Fees and funding questions
    • Answers out of hours
    • Books the tour
    04

    Professional Website

    Room, session and fee pages written properly, tour booking on every one, and enquiry forms that capture the child's age, days needed and preferred start.

    • Room and session pages
    • Tour booking throughout
    • Age and days captured
  2. Stage 02Ten days of multi-channel follow-up

    02

    AI Outbound Caller

    Calls families whose tour was missed, follows up enquiries that never booked, and checks in with waitlisted families before their stated start date.

    • Missed tour calls
    • Unbooked enquiry follow-up
    • Waitlist timeline checks
  3. Stage 03Booking and no-show prevention

    05

    Smart Appointment System

    Tours confirmed with what to expect and where to park, reminded at 24 hours, 1 hour and 15 minutes, and recovered by a call inside the hour when a family does not arrive.

    • What-to-expect notes
    • 24h / 1h / 15min ladder
    • Recovery within 60 minutes
  4. Stage 04Reviews and social proof

    06

    Review Harvesting

    The ask goes out once a child has settled — a few weeks after enrolment, not on day one — which is the only point a parent can honestly review a setting.

    • Fires after settling in
    • Never on day one
    • Google and Facebook links
    07

    Review Automation

    Runs the cadence for a setting with low enrolment volume and high review value: one well-timed reminder, alternating platforms, monthly reporting.

    • Built for low volume
    • Alternating platform links
    • Enrolments-to-reviews view
  5. Stage 05Lifetime client nurture

    08

    Database Reactivation

    Enquiries that never enrolled, and families whose child has moved on, are re-approached at six months — often for a younger sibling, which is the most common childcare re-enrolment.

    • 6-month dormancy trigger
    • Sibling-aware outreach
    • Throttled batch calling
    09

    Lifetime Nurture Campaigns

    Waitlist nurture, settling-in check-ins, term-time and holiday club prompts, sibling enrolment reminders and a referral programme aimed at current parents.

    • Waitlist nurture cadence
    • Sibling enrolment prompts
    • Parent referral rewards

The same nine ship in every kit in the catalog. Delivered within 24 business hours of purchase confirmation. On purchase you receive two things: one snapshot link, and one PDF with full installation instructions. Installation by us is optional, at $200.

The load list

Thirteen things land in the account

The nine above are what the account does. This is what is physically in it when theChildcare Centre kit finishes loading — the same thirteen in every kit we sell, with no count published against any of them. Where a row is one of the nine, it says which one and does not describe it twice.

  1. No. 01

    1 AI Receptionist

    Component 01 · AI Receptionist
    The problem
    Between eight and six every adult in a nursery is legally required to be with children, so enquiry calls hit voicemail while a parent rings the next three settings. Configuring a receptionist that must never discuss a child is careful work per account.
    Once it is loaded
    The receptionist handles enrolment enquiries only: age group, days needed, requested start date, funding questions and a tour booking. Anything about a child already attending, or any safeguarding matter, is escalated to a named human immediately.
    How it pays back
    If scripting those boundaries from scratch costs an operator six hours per setting and a group asks you to stand up eight nurseries, that is more than a working week of build, and the setting stops losing the afternoon enquiries that decide a September place.
  2. No. 02

    1 AI Chatbot

    Component 03 · AI Chatbot
    The problem
    The research happens after bedtime, on a phone, comparing four settings at once. An assistant that answers fees and funded hours but refuses to discuss an individual child has to be constrained deliberately, and that constraint gets rebuilt at every setting.
    Once it is loaded
    The assistant covers fees, funded hours, session patterns, waiting times in general terms and tour availability across the website, SMS, email and social, and is scoped so it never handles daily care updates, incidents or anything about a named child.
    How it pays back
    Assume a nursery answers seventy evening enquiries a term and converts one in ten into a tour, with two of those tours enrolling at a fee that runs for two years; the account earns its keep on a single September intake.
  3. No. 03

    Pipelines

    Not one of the nine — what they run on
    The problem
    The place that opens in March was promised to a family who registered last June, and if the waitlist lives inside a general enquiry board it is lost the moment somebody tidies that board. Operators learn this once, painfully, then rebuild under pressure.
    Once it is loaded
    Enquiry to tour booked to tour attended to place offered sits on the enrolment board; the waitlist stands separately with requested start date and age group visible; leavers serving notice are tracked apart, so a place is filled before it stands empty.
    How it pays back
    If separating a waitlist out of a general pipeline after the fact takes an operator five hours per setting, and you learned that on your first nursery account, every subsequent setting loads correctly on day one at no build cost.
  4. No. 04

    Workflows

    Not one of the nine — what they run on
    The problem
    Term dates, the September intake, funded-hours declaration deadlines and a notice period all drive different messages, and none of them may touch the daily communication a key worker sends a parent. Keeping those two streams apart is what operators get wrong.
    Once it is loaded
    Tour follow-up, waitlist check-ins on a light cadence, offer expiry chasing, funded-hours declaration reminders and a leaver notice sequence run inside the enrolment stream only, with no path by which a marketing message reaches a parent as a care update.
    How it pays back
    If building that separation properly is ten hours per setting and a group hands you eight nurseries, the kit saves ten working days, and it also saves the conversation you would have had after a sales email landed on a safeguarding thread.
  5. No. 05

    Appointment reminders, confirmations and no-show recovery

    Component 05 · Smart Appointment System
    The problem
    Families tour three settings in a week and enrol at one of them, so a tour that does not happen is usually the enrolment gone entirely. Building the reminder ladder and the same-hour recovery per nursery is unglamorous work every operator repeats.
    Once it is loaded
    A booked tour confirms with parking, entry arrangements and what to bring, then reminds at twenty-four hours, one hour and fifteen minutes; a family that does not arrive gets a call within the hour, working to the seventy per cent no-show recovery target.
    How it pays back
    If a setting books twenty tours a term and five do not arrive, recovering most of them at a place worth a thousand a month for two years makes the reminder ladder alone the reason the client renews with you.
  6. No. 06

    Funnels

    Not one of the nine — what they run on
    The problem
    A nursery sells a tour, not a purchase, and the pages have to carry inspection-grade credibility, fee transparency and a funded-hours explanation without ever promising a place. Writing that carefully per setting is slow, and rushed versions read badly to parents.
    Once it is loaded
    A tour booking path, a waitlist registration path, a funded-hours eligibility explainer and a sibling-place enquiry are built, each capturing age group and requested start date, and none of them implying availability the setting cannot honour.
    How it pays back
    If a tour booking page written to that standard is four hours of an operator day and you load five settings a year, the kit returns twenty hours, and the nursery has a registration path live before the January enquiry season rather than after it.
  7. No. 07

    AI Studio website

    Component 04 · Professional Website
    The problem
    The manager who holds the copy is on the floor covering ratios, so a nursery site sits at eighty per cent finished for three weeks while an operator waits on room descriptions, a fees table and confirmation of which policies may go public.
    Once it is loaded
    Room and age-group pages, a fees and funded-hours page, admissions and settling-in copy, staff qualification structure, a tour booking calendar and a registration form arrive written and organised for local search, with no field that invites child information.
    How it pays back
    If a childcare site built from nothing is fourteen hours of writing and chasing and you deliver four a year, that is seven working days recovered, and the setting launches in days, which matters because a September intake does not wait for a website.
  8. The problem
    A family on a waitlist for eight months with no contact has enrolled somewhere else, and the place opens to silence. Building nurture that stays useful rather than pushy, and never strays into anything about a child, is genuinely delicate work.
    Once it is loaded
    Waitlist families receive a light, informative cadence on settling-in, term dates and centre news; stalled tour enquiries get a follow-up sequence; a dormant enquiry list from a previous intake is reapproached by age group and requested start month.
    How it pays back
    If a nursery has forty families on an unattended waitlist and half have already gone elsewhere, keeping even a handful engaged into the next intake, at a fee running two years, is a return the client can name in a renewal conversation.
  9. The problem
    Parents choose a setting on what other parents wrote, and the only safe moment to ask is after settling-in has gone well or when a child moves up a room, never anywhere near an incident. Wiring a trigger that respects that is careful per-account work.
    Once it is loaded
    The ask is timed to a settled first month or a room transition, passes a satisfaction gate, is worded so no child detail is invited into a public review, follows a multi-touch cadence and rotates platforms, aiming at five to ten reviews a month.
    How it pays back
    If a setting fills places on local reputation, a steady five to ten reviews a month reduces what it spends on paid enquiry, and a nursery that stops buying clicks while still filling places is a nursery that keeps paying you.
  10. The problem
    The intake that matters is September, and it is won in April. Term dates, funded-hours declaration deadlines and the January enquiry surge all sit on a school calendar that an operator rebuilds by hand at every setting, usually too late to matter.
    Once it is loaded
    The September intake campaign, the January enquiry push, holiday-club promotion, funded-hours declaration deadline reminders, sibling-discount prompts and a family referral message are all scheduled in the account against a set of term dates the setting supplies once.
    How it pays back
    If an operator spends eight hours a year building seasonal campaigns per nursery and a group runs eight of them, that is eight working days, and the settings have a September campaign live in April, when parents actually start looking.
  11. No. 11

    Custom values

    Not one of the nine — what they run on
    The problem
    A setting that changes its fees in April changes them everywhere, and an operator who typed session times, hourly rates and the sibling discount into templates spends the fee review inside message editors rather than on the next rollout.
    Once it is loaded
    Room age ranges, session patterns, fee rates, funded-hours wording, sibling discount, notice period, term dates and the registration fee sit at account level, so a fee review is one screen and every tour confirmation quotes the current number.
    How it pays back
    If a fee review chased through templates is two hours per setting and a group of eight reviews fees annually, that is sixteen hours a year, and it removes the year-old fee arriving in a parent inbox as a written quotation.
  12. No. 12

    Custom fields

    Not one of the nine — what they run on
    The problem
    What a nursery actually needs on a record is the parent contact, an age group, days and sessions required, a requested start date, funding status and waitlist position. What it must never hold is anything approaching a child or safeguarding record.
    Once it is loaded
    The record carries parent details, age group rather than identity, sessions wanted, requested start month, funded-hours status, sibling links and waitlist position, and there is deliberately no field structure inviting care notes or incident detail.
    How it pays back
    If getting that boundary right takes an operator a day of thinking per setting, the kit does the thinking once for every childcare account you run, and the value is not only the hours but not being the agency that put a child note in a CRM.
  13. No. 13

    Forms and surveys

    Not one of the nine — what they run on
    The problem
    Consent is the whole difficulty. A form built quickly at the end of a rollout is exactly where a setting ends up collecting something it should not, and a group then has to review every form you shipped, nursery by nursery, before anyone can use them.
    Once it is loaded
    Enquiry and tour registration forms, a waitlist form capturing start month and sessions, a communication preference form carrying consent wording and a post-settling parent survey arrive built, each worded so a parent knows what is stored and what is not.
    How it pays back
    If drafting consent-safe forms is three hours per setting and you deliver five childcare accounts a year, that is fifteen hours, and a group can approve one form set once instead of reviewing yours setting by setting.

On purchase you receive two things: one snapshot link, and one PDF with full installation instructions. Installation is not in the kit price — load it yourself from the PDF, or add installation by us for $200 a sub-account. Every payback figure above is an illustrative scenario with its assumptions in the sentence, not a measured customer result.

The end-to-end run

How the complete system works

From a stranger’s first ring to a client of several years. This is the flow the Childcare Centre Sub-Account Kit wires into a sub-account on day one — the nine components are what you get, the load list is what physically lands, and this is the order in which it all fires.

  1. A stranger makes contact

  4. The enrolment is done

    Reviews and social proof

    Turning finished work into public evidence

    Intelligent review request

    Two hours after the enrolment, one question decides where it goes.

    • Satisfaction check sent two hours after the enrolment completes

    • Personalised thank-yous, not one template
    • Negative reviews handled with genuine empathy

    • Lifts conversion on the same traffic
    • Supports local search ranking signals
  5. They are a client

    Lifetime client nurture and retention

    • Rescheduling handled in the conversation
    • Status enquiries answered from the record
    • Document lookups without a phone call

    • A return message that carries an actual reason, not a guilt trip
    • Monthly referral prompts to the people most likely to give one
    • A VIP tier for the clients who keep coming back

The two performance figures above — a 70% no-show recovery rate and 5–10 reviews a month — are the system's design targets, supplied by the product team. They are not measured results from named customers, and they are never published as review or rating markup.

The problem it is pointed at

What this business loses today

Nobody can legally answer the phone

Every adult is with children during session hours, which is exactly when parents ring round three settings.

Waitlisted families go quiet

A family waits eight months with no contact and enrols somewhere else, and the place opens to silence.

Booked tours are not attended

The tour is most of the enrolment decision, and it is booked with a single email and no reminder.

Enquiries are never followed up

A parent calls, leaves a message, gets a call back two days later, and has already visited two other settings.

What changes, and which component does it

  • Enquiries captured during session hours, when nobody can answerAI Receptionist
  • Fees, funding and availability questions answered in the eveningAI Chatbot
  • Tours booked on first contact and attended, because they are reminded properlySmart Appointment System
  • Missed tours called within the hourAI Outbound Caller
  • Waitlisted families kept engaged until a place opensLifetime Nurture Campaigns
  • Reviews asked once a child has genuinely settledReview Harvesting

Built for

  • Nurseries, daycare centres and preschools with 30–200 places
  • Centres with a waitlist longer than their availability
  • Businesses where every staff member is legally occupied during session

Not built for

  • Childminders with a full book and no marketing need
  • Settings whose places are allocated entirely by a local authority
  • Providers needing safeguarding records handled inside the CRM

If you are in the second list, say so and we will tell you what would actually help — or that nothing we sell would.

Where the hours come back

A 90-place nursery taking 40 enquiries a month, booking 22 tours, with an average annual place worth $11,000 and a waitlist of 35 families.

  • Off the phone4h/wk~20 missed enquiries a week × ~12 min of returning calls = ~4 hours a week
  • Off tour admin2.5h/wk~6 tours a week × ~25 min of booking, confirming and reminding = ~2.5 hours a week
  • Off waitlist contact3h/wk35 waitlisted families contacted on a cadence rather than never = ~3 hours a week
  • Off enquiry follow-up2h/wk~18 unconverted enquiries a month × ~7 min of chasing = ~2 hours a week

~11.5 hours a week in this illustrative scenario — roughly 50 hours a month. Your figures will differ; the arithmetic is shown so you can substitute them.

When it pays back

One additional enrolment holds for a year or more. At $11,000 an annual place, a single extra family covers this kit more than ten times over in the scenario above — which is why tour attendance is the number worth watching.

Run your own numbers

An illustrative scenario, with your inputs

These are not measured customer results and never will be presented as such. They are arithmetic. Change any field and the sentence below changes with it — including the sub-account multiplier, because most people reading this are rolling the Childcare Centre Sub-Account Kit out across more than one client.

Illustrative recovered value, per month—

Illustrative arithmetic only. It assumes every missed enquiry is answered and that your own close rate holds on recovered contacts — neither is guaranteed, and both depend on your offer and your team. No figure here is a measurement from a real customer, and none of it is published as review or rating markup.

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.

Waitlists need contact

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.

Delivery and installation

What is in the box, who installs it, and what is a separate job

On purchase you receive two things: one snapshot link, and one PDF with full installation instructions. Installation is not in the kit price — you load it from the PDF, or we do it for $200 a sub-account. That PDF is the real path, not a consolation prize. An operator who has loaded a snapshot before will not need us in the room, and we would rather say so than sell you an hour you do not need.

In the $200 installation

  • The kit loaded into the sub-account
  • The website rebranded
  • A2P / 10DLC registration and setup
  • Email service setup
  • A few extra automations where they are needed

One flat price per sub-account, agreed before anything starts. Skip it and the PDF walks you through every one of those steps yourself.

Never in an installation, at any price

  • Third-party integrations
  • Third-party software
  • Custom software development
  • Ongoing campaign management run on your behalf

Those three are never in an installation, here or on any price. They are real work with a real quote behind them, and we would rather name the edge than discover it halfway through. All of it is real work we do — see integrations, APIs and custom software, or hand it to a dedicated VA. Scoped and quoted before anyone starts.

Questions, or want a look inside a kit before you buy? Book a call — we will open an account and run the journey with you on the screen.

Reviews

Reviews of this kit

These are sample entries. SubaccountKit is new, so rather than invent testimonials we are showing clearly-labelled placeholders while the deck waits for real customers. Nothing here is published as review or rating markup either — search engines see no ratings from this site until the words are real.

Questions about the Childcare Centre Sub-Account Kit

No. It handles enquiry and enrolment operations — parent contact details, requested start date, days needed, tour bookings. Safeguarding and child records belong in your own systems, and this configuration deliberately does not create a place for them.

A family on a waitlist for eight months with no contact will have found somewhere else. A light, useful cadence keeps them engaged so that when a place opens, they are still there and still interested.

Because a tour that actually happens is most of the enrolment decision. Booking it on the first call, and reminding properly so it is attended, is the highest-leverage thing a centre can automate.
