Frequently Asked Questions

Is it really free for parents?

Yes, completely. Parents will never be charged to use Childcare Waitlist. Creating a profile, searching for creches, and managing applications is 100% free.

What is the pilot programme?

We're working with a small group of creches to refine the platform before a wider launch. Pilot creches get full access to every feature at no cost, and help shape the product with their feedback.

What happens after the pilot?

We'll introduce simple, affordable pricing for creches. Pilot participants will get advance notice and a special rate as a thank-you for being early supporters. We'll never surprise you with charges.

Can I export my data?

Absolutely. You can export your full waitlist as a CSV file at any time. Your data is yours — we make it easy to take it with you.

Is my data safe?

Yes. We're GDPR-compliant, hosted in the EU, and use encryption for all data in transit and at rest. Read our Privacy Policy for full details.

Do I need to sign a contract?

No long-term contracts. When paid plans launch, they'll be month-to-month with the option to cancel anytime. During the pilot, just sign up and start using it.
