Website for a childcare provider
Parents choose with their hearts and with a waiting list in mind. A site showing how a day looks, the cost after allowance and whether there is room beats ten photos of a play corner.
In short
- Availability per group and per day
- Costs calculated after childcare allowance
- Request a tour in two steps
How it works in this industry
Parents choose childcare with their feelings and with a spreadsheet. The feeling is about how a day looks and who staffs the group; the spreadsheet about hours, rates and allowance. Sites doing only the first lose the parent working out whether it fits.
Waiting lists are also a fact in many regions. Showing honestly how things stand and making registration easy builds a list you can plan placements with, instead of shuffling ad hoc.
What usually goes wrong
- Waiting list questions arriving daily
- Rates only clear after a calculation
- Parents who do not know how a day runs
What Plaincodelab builds
Placement status per group, with waiting list form
Calculator that includes the allowance

This is what a childcare provider usually needs first — not a fixed list. Want something else, Plaincodelab builds that just as well: a webshop, a client portal with logins, a quote calculator, an extra language, a link to the system you already use or an app alongside your site. Describe what you have in mind and PCL will tell you what it costs and what it returns.

Frequently asked questions
Can the site calculate the allowance?
Yes, as an indication based on income and hours. Parents then see what they actually pay.
Can I manage the waiting list myself?
Yes. Registrations arrive with the desired start date and days, so you can place children purposefully.
Should I show a waiting list if it is long?
Yes. Parents value honesty and register anyway; vagueness costs you calls and trust.
Can I inform parents without a separate app?
Yes, with a private parent area on the site for news, photos and documents.
