Childcare · STN 03 — Book
Booked
while you work.
Enquiries land after 8pm, when the centre is closed and every competitor is too. Answering is a genuine advantage. Qualified enquiries land in your calendar. No phone tag, no back and forth. Without it, three phone calls to agree a time, and the customer books elsewhere during the second one — 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
Qualified enquiries land in your calendar. No phone tag, no back and forth.
Enquiries are offered real times from your live calendar and book themselves in. Availability rules are yours — travel time, job types, which days take which work, who is qualified for what — so the diary fills the way you would have filled it. On the line this sits at station 3, book — 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 straight-to-calendar booking changes for childcare

From your live calendar, with your travel and buffer rules already applied.
02
They pick one
In the same conversation they are already in — no link to a separate system, no login.
03
It is confirmed
Confirmation to them, the slot on your calendar, the details in the thread.
04
It protects the day
No double bookings, no jobs stacked on opposite sides of town.
Straight answers
Straight-to-calendar booking for childcare & early learning — questions people ask
- Our scheduling is too complicated to automate.
- The rules are set up around how you actually run the day — job types, travel, who can do what. It is not a generic calendar link. If a job genuinely needs your judgement, it comes to you instead of booking.
- 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.
