Parents search online before they choose a creche, nursery or preschool. Find My Nursery puts your school in front of parents across South Africa and shows you what is working. We also look after your Google presence and your website, and we run ads to reach more parents. Here is everything we offer, and how it fits together.
Your listing and your Nursery Centre. Parents find you here, and you manage and measure it all in one place.
Whether you run a creche, daycare, nursery or preschool, your school is already listed on South Africa's largest nursery and ECD directory, so parents searching your suburb can find you. Claim your profile to manage it, and go Premium for top placement in search and neighbourhood pages.
Your Nursery Centre shows how parents find you, not just how many. See your Google search rankings, how often your school appears in Find My Nursery search compared with nearby schools, and a daily digest of calls, WhatsApp taps and directions.

Claim your schoolRun several schools or support a group of centres? One network page and one dashboard bring them together.
Run a group of preschools, a franchise, or a programme that supports independent creches? Every campus already has its own page on Find My Nursery. A network partnership ties them together under one network page, and each school keeps its own listing.
Your network dashboard rolls up profile views, calls, WhatsApp taps, emails, directions and enquiries across every school. You decide what your network logins can see, so campus owners stay in control of their own details. GROW ECD is a live example: see its network page.
Good preschool marketing is not complicated, and the same ideas work for nursery marketing at a creche, daycare or home-based centre. Parents want to find you, trust you and reach you easily. Most owners are busy running a school, so we have kept this practical. Work through these steps in order and each one makes the next one work harder.
Most parents start by searching their suburb. Claim your Find My Nursery profile so the details are yours: your address, fees, hours, age groups, photos and a short description of how your school feels. Complete profiles get more calls than thin ones, because parents are comparing several schools at once.
When someone searches for a creche or nursery near them, Google shows a map with a few schools. Your Google Business Profile decides whether you are one of them. Add the right category, your hours, photos of your classrooms and play areas, and keep the phone number the same everywhere it appears.
Parents trust other parents more than any advert. Ask happy parents for an honest review at a natural moment, such as after a term or a school event, and reply to every review politely, including the critical ones. A calm reply shows future parents how you handle problems.
Many parents enquire after hours and expect a quick answer. A WhatsApp button, a tour booking option and a clear fees page remove the awkward first step. Reply the same day where you can, because the school that answers first often gets the visit.
A simple website gives you a place that you fully own: your story, your teachers, your daily routine and your fees. It also gives Google more to rank for your suburb. It does not need to be big. A clear, fast, mobile-friendly site that links to your Nursery Centre does the job.
Check what is working before you spend more, because a small school with limited time gets the best return from fixing the basics first. Which searches bring parents to you, how many tap call or WhatsApp, and how many enquiries become tours? Once your profile, Google presence and website are solid, ads on Facebook and Instagram can reach parents near you who are not searching yet.
