Little Fruitcakes: Nursery Website Design by Fruitcake Media
£79 a month inc VAT, nothing upfront, everything in
Every change made for you, as often as you like
New policy, new photos, new menu? Send it and it’s done
Or update everything yourself, whenever you want
Your nursery website package
One price, everything in. Nothing to pay upfront.
We take the website off your plate
Design, hosting, SSL, daily backups, domain and email, every change and all the support you need, in one monthly payment. Nothing upfront and nothing else to buy.
New policy? Send it. New photos? Send them. Menu, fees, staff, open day, snow-day notice: send it by app, email or phone and we make the change, every time, for no extra charge.
Full CMS access is included, so you can edit any page, add photos and post news whenever you like. Most nurseries do a bit of both. Either way, it’s never a burden.
Built around what parents need to know
Parents want a straight answer on fees, the free entitlement hours you offer and what counts as a chargeable extra. Your website shows it clearly, and you can change it the day your fees do.
Baby room to preschool, what a typical day looks like, what’s for lunch and how settling-in works. The things parents ask on every visit, answered before they pick up the phone.
Your Ofsted report, safeguarding statement, SEND approach and policy library, easy for parents to find and easy for you to update when a document changes.
Every page nudges parents towards the step that matters: a show-round, an enquiry or a place on the waiting list, with forms that land straight in your inbox.
We were very impressed with the professionalism, time taken, value for money and overall we are delighted with the final design and ongoing help.
I honestly cannot thank you and your team enough for the marvellous customer care and attention to detail
David and the team are fantastic to deal with. I have been with fruitcake since the beginning of my personal training business
Great customer service and high-quality design/hosting.
Meet the team behind Little Fruitcakes
Little Fruitcakes is Fruitcake Media, a small web design team at Glasshouse, Alderley Park in Cheshire, looking after 400+ websites for small businesses. The person who designs your nursery website is the same person who makes the change when you send us a new policy two years later.
No ticket queues, no account managers, no outsourcing. Just people who pick up the phone, know your setting by name and take the website off your list.
See a real Little Fruitcakes nursery website
Wild Explorers Forest School is a nature-based nursery and pre-school in Poynton, and their new website is a Little Fruitcakes build: a page for each room, fees and policies parents can actually find, staff photos and bios, and a Book a Show-Around form that reaches the nursery instantly.
The whole project went from first content to live in around three weeks, and every change along the way was made for them.
Nursery website design that works for parents and for you
Little Fruitcakes is the nursery website design service from Fruitcake Media: a bespoke website for day nurseries, preschools and childcare settings for £79 a month including VAT, with UK hosting, SSL, daily backups and every change made for you, designed around the fees, funded hours, policies and Ofsted information that parents look for and the EYFS framework expects you to share. We are a web design team based at Glasshouse, Alderley Park in Cheshire, looking after 400+ websites, and we work with settings across the UK.
Nurseries kept asking us the same things: can parents find our fees, can we change the menu ourselves, can you just do it for us? So we built a nursery website that answers all three.
One price. Everything in.
£79 a month including VAT, nothing to pay upfront and a 12-month initial term. That gets you a bespoke nursery or childcare website designed around your rooms, your fees and your parents; secure UK hosting, an SSL certificate and daily backups; a domain name and email mailboxes where you need them; full CMS access and the Fruitcake Media app; and changes made for you whenever you ask. There is nothing else to buy. If you are weighing that against other routes, our guide to how much a nursery website costs sets the options side by side.
Built with current early years requirements and guidance in mind
There is no such thing as an "Ofsted compliant website", and we would be wary of anyone who says otherwise. What we do is design around the information the EYFS statutory framework says you must share with parents, and the fees and chargeable extras information the Department for Education expects providers to publish online, so the right things are easy to find and easy to keep current. Our guides on what a nursery website should include, nursery website requirements and which policies to publish set out what applies to you and where it comes from.
How it works
1. Book a call. We talk about your setting, your parents and what you need the website to do. No forms, no sales script.
2. We design it. Within about 10 working days of receiving your content and photos, we share a draft for your approval.
3. It goes live. We set up your domain, email and forms, and show you the app.
4. We look after it. Hosting, security, backups and changes are all handled, month after month.
Fruitcake Media holds 23 five-star Google reviews. We are a small team, we answer the phone, and we would love to build something your parents actually use. You can see a live Little Fruitcakes build in our Wild Explorers Forest School case study: a forest school nursery in Poynton whose new website went from first content to live in around three weeks.
Some settings need more than the website. Digital signage for a reception screen and social media handled for you are both available from the same team, and neither is a condition of the website.
Questions nursery owners ask us
How much does a nursery website cost with Little Fruitcakes?
£79 a month including VAT, with nothing to pay upfront. That covers the design and build of your website, secure hosting, an SSL certificate, daily backups, the Fruitcake Media app, changes made for you whenever you ask, and ongoing support. The initial term is 12 months and there are no extras to add.
Can I update the website myself?
Yes, in two ways. Every website comes with full CMS access, so you can edit pages, add photos and post news yourself whenever you like. And every Little Fruitcakes website comes with the Fruitcake Media app, so when you would rather not, you snap the new menu or type the update on your phone, send it over in about a minute and we make the change for you. That is included, not an extra.
Is my nursery website Ofsted compliant?
There is no such thing as an "Ofsted compliant website", and we would be wary of anyone who says otherwise. Ofsted inspects your setting, not your website. What we do is design around the information the EYFS framework says you must share with parents, and the fees and chargeable extras information the Department for Education expects providers to publish online, so the right things are easy to find and easy for you to keep current.
What do I need to give you to get started?
Your logo if you have one, some photos of your rooms and outdoor space (we can suggest licensed images to fill gaps), your fees and session times, your policies and your Ofsted report link. We write or tidy the copy with you, and most nursery websites are live within around 10 working days of receiving everything.
Can you move our existing nursery website over?
Yes. We usually rebuild it on our platform at no extra charge, keep your domain, set up redirects from your old pages so you do not lose your Google history, and take care of the switch. Domain and email set-up is handled where you need it.
Do nurseries need a website?
There is no law that says a nursery must have one, but parents expect it and the early years rules expect you to share information such as your complaints procedure, how to contact Ofsted and the cost of chargeable extras. A website is the easiest way to do that and keep it current, and we do the updating for you.
Can the website link to our parent app?
Yes. We add a parent login link to your menu so families can reach Famly, Tapestry, Blossom or whichever app you use in one tap, and we say on your website which app you use. Children’s records stay in the app, never on the website.
