Nursery


Running a nursery is hard. We’re here to make it easier.

Running a nursery isn’t easy, we know that firsthand. Every day brings a hundred things to juggle. We built Nursery in a Box so you can spend less time on admin and more time doing what matters.

One platform, one plan, and a lot more time.

About us

Built by Nursery Owners, For Nursery Owners

Our story began not in software but in nurseries themselves. We know the challenges first-hand, which is exactly why we created Nursery in a Box. Running a nursery is demanding, so our goal is simple: smarter tools and a supportive team that genuinely understands your world.

About Nursery in a Box.

We’ve been in your shoes, running nursery groups across the UK and the Middle East. 

That hands-on experience is what shaped our software, so it actually solves real-life challenges nurseries face every day.

Our Vision

We want to make running your nursery easier with software you can rely on every day.

Our mission is to make nursery management simple, efficient, and stress-free so that educators can focus on what matters most: inspiring and caring for children.

One Plan, Everything Included

Nursery in a Box offers a comprehensive nursery management software solution, specifically designed to streamline everyday operations for nurseries and preschools.

Don’t Let Admin

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.””
