Childcare · STN 01 — Capture
Every enquiry
in one place.
Enquiries land after 8pm, when the centre is closed and every competitor is too. Answering is a genuine advantage. One intake for calls, forms, chat, email and socials. Nothing lives in a notebook. Without it, enquiries scatter across inboxes and phones, and the ones nobody owns quietly die — and for childcare centres, early learning and preschools, that adds up to $79,800 a year.

What it is costing now
$79,800
a year for childcare centres, early learning and preschools. Struck through because it is recoverable.
Based on 2 unanswered enquiries a month at $9,500 average enrolment value, of which 35% would have converted. Your leak audit uses your numbers, not these.
What changes
One intake for calls, forms, chat, email and socials. Nothing lives in a notebook.
Every channel you get enquiries on lands in a single inbox with a single thread per customer. The van notebook, the shared email, the messages sitting in someone's personal phone — all of it in one place, so nothing is lost between people. On the line this sits at station 1, capture — the point where enquiries either turn into enrolments or quietly stop. A family who tours enrols far more often than one who does not. Everything should point at booking the tour.

How it runs
What one lead inbox changes for childcare
01
Everything lands
Phone, web form, web chat, email, Facebook, Instagram and Google — one intake.
02
One thread per person
A customer who calls, then texts, then emails is one conversation, not three.
03
Nothing unassigned
Every enquiry has an owner and a state. Nothing sits in a place where it is nobody's job.
04
It is searchable
Find what you told someone eight months ago in a couple of seconds.
Straight answers
One lead inbox for childcare & early learning — questions people ask
- We already have an inbox. Why another one?
- You have five, and that is the problem. The point is not another place to look — it is one place instead of five, with every channel already in it.
- Parents are choosing who cares for their child. Is automation appropriate?
- The automation books the tour. Every part that matters — meeting you, seeing the room, meeting the educators — is entirely human. What it replaces is a parent getting no answer at 9pm and enrolling somewhere else.
- Can it answer questions about vacancies and fees?
- From your own current information, including room-by-room availability and the subsidy basics. Anything specific to a family's circumstances is booked in with you.
