Childcare Near Me – Terms & Conditions

Last updated: August 2026

Welcome to Childcare Near Me. By using this website, submitting a listing or purchasing services from Childcare Near Me, you agree to the following Terms & Conditions.

1. About Us

Childcare Near Me is a UK childcare directory and marketing platform designed to help parents discover childcare providers and help nurseries and childminders promote their services.

We provide a platform for childcare providers to increase their visibility and for parents and guardians to find information about childcare in their area.

Childcare Near Me is not a childcare provider, regulator, inspection body or government organisation.

2. Nursery & Childminder Listings

Nurseries and childcare providers are responsible for ensuring all information submitted to Childcare Near Me is:

• accurate
• up to date
• lawful
• not misleading

This includes:

• contact details
• fees
• availability
• photographs
• descriptions
• services offered
• opening hours
• other information displayed on their profile

Childcare Near Me reserves the right to edit, refuse, suspend or remove listings at our discretion where necessary.

Childcare providers are responsible for informing Childcare Near Me of any significant changes to the information displayed on their listing.

3. Parent Information

Information displayed on this platform is provided for general guidance only.

Parents and guardians should independently:

• verify childcare suitability
• arrange visits
• confirm qualifications and registrations
• review relevant Ofsted information
• confirm availability directly with the provider
• make their own childcare decisions

Childcare Near Me does not guarantee:

• childcare availability
• placements
• admission acceptance
• childcare quality
• inspection outcomes

Parents and guardians remain responsible for making their own decisions when choosing childcare.

Childcare Near Me does not accept responsibility for childcare decisions made by parents or guardians based on information displayed on the platform.

4. Gold Profiles, Payments & Visibility

Childcare Near Me offers Gold Profiles for nurseries and childminders wishing to receive increased visibility and additional promotional opportunities.

Gold Profile services may include:

• an enhanced business profile
• photographs
• increased visibility on the Childcare Near Me platform
• social media promotion
• nursery or childminder visits
• promotional content
• additional marketing opportunities

The services included may vary depending on the package or service agreed with Childcare Near Me.

Payment

Payment must be made before a Gold Profile is built or published.

Childcare Near Me is under no obligation to begin creating, building, publishing or promoting a Gold Profile until the agreed payment has been received.

Payment may be made by:

• card
• bank transfer

Gold Profiles and associated services are provided for an agreed period of 12 months, unless otherwise stated.

Childcare Near Me does not operate Gold Profiles as monthly rolling subscriptions.

Visibility and Results

Childcare Near Me provides marketing and promotional services designed to increase the visibility of nurseries and childminders.

While we work to give businesses increased exposure and visibility, we do not guarantee new children, enquiries, registrations, occupancy levels or financial results.

The number of enquiries or children a childcare provider receives can be affected by many factors outside the control of Childcare Near Me, including:

• location
• local demand
• competition
• availability
• fees
• the individual childcare provider

Childcare Near Me guarantees the agreed visibility and promotional services included within the package purchased, but does not guarantee a specific number of new children or enquiries.

5. Pricing & Location

Prices for Childcare Near Me services may vary depending on the location of the nursery or childminding setting.

Businesses located within the North West may be offered different pricing from businesses located elsewhere in the United Kingdom.

This difference in pricing is due to the additional time, distance and travel involved in carrying out nursery or childminder visits outside the North West.

Childcare Near Me aims to provide an in-person and personal service where visits are included or agreed. Therefore, businesses located further away may be charged differently to reflect the additional travel required.

The applicable price will be clearly communicated before payment is made.

Childcare Near Me reserves the right to review and amend prices from time to time.

6. Early Bird & Promotional Offers

Childcare Near Me may occasionally offer Early Bird pricing, introductory prices or other promotional offers.

Any promotional offer will be subject to the terms communicated at the time of the offer.

To qualify for an offer, businesses must meet any requirements stated as part of that promotion.

Childcare Near Me reserves the right to withdraw, amend or end promotional offers for future customers at any time.

Any price agreed and paid for under a promotional offer will remain subject to the terms agreed at the time of purchase.

7. Gold Profile Duration

Unless otherwise agreed, a Gold Profile and its associated services will operate for a period of 12 months.

The 12-month period will begin from the date the Gold Profile is made live, unless another start date has been agreed.

At the end of the 12-month period, continued services, visibility or promotional activity may be subject to a new agreement and the prices available at that time.

8. Nursery & Childminder Visits

Where included within a package or otherwise agreed, Childcare Near Me may offer informal nursery or childminder visits for promotional and marketing purposes.

These visits:

• are not inspections
• are not audits
• are not safeguarding assessments
• are not Ofsted-related
• do not certify childcare quality

The purpose of a Childcare Near Me visit is to learn about and showcase the setting and provide promotional content where appropriate.

A Childcare Near Me visit should not be considered an official assessment or rating of the childcare provider.

Childcare Near Me does not replace the role of Ofsted or any other official regulatory organisation.

Any promotional content shared following a visit remains at the discretion of Childcare Near Me.

9. Nursery Photographs & Promotional Content

Any photographs, videos or other content submitted to Childcare Near Me by nurseries or childminders must be owned by them or used with the appropriate permission.

By submitting photographs or promotional material, the childcare provider confirms that they have the right to allow Childcare Near Me to use that content.

Approved content may be used for:

• website listings
• social media promotion
• marketing materials
• promotional content

Childcare Near Me reserves the right to refuse, edit or remove photographs or content that is considered inappropriate, misleading, unlawful or unsuitable.

10. Website Use

• misuse the platform
• upload offensive or unlawful content
• attempt to access restricted areas
