What Our Clients Love About Nursery in a Box

Nursery in a Box makes running your nursery easier. From day-to-day admin to smooth parent communication, our software helps nurseries and preschools save time, stay organised, and focus on what really matters.

On average, the software saves me around £4,000 per month in secretarial and administrative costs across the sites and that’s before I’ve accounted for the reduction in paper and ink cartridges.””
