Room Occupancy

Monitor room and nursery occupancy in real time to plan staffing and marketing all year round. Get accurate occupancy levels by room, ratio, FTE, or revenue for complete visibility.

Track starters and leavers to maintain occupancy and maximise revenue. Anticipate transitions as children move between rooms, making occupancy and availability planning simple and stress-free.

Nursery Availability

Check nursery and room availability in seconds with your built-in calendar and availability checker. Quickly spot open sessions, maximise places, and view unsold spaces at a glance.

See availability by room, month, or FTE to identify trends and fill gaps. Plan ahead for up to five years or until children’s leave dates, all synced with your registers in real time, so you’re always one step ahead.

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.””
