A website for nurseries, live in minutes
A parent reading this is doing sums about work, and the visit is what actually decides it.
A real Clay site, built from a Google listing
A parent choosing a nursery is solving a timetable problem and a cost problem before they are ready to think about anything else, and no amount of warmth on the page substitutes for those two answers.
So the hours, the fees and whether there is space go first, plainly. Clay builds the site from your Google listing, and a bookable visit goes under them, because every parent decides in the room and not on the page.
Why Clay
It pulls your info from Google
No blank page. Clay reads your Google business listing and fills in your name, photos, hours, map and reviews automatically.
A real website, not just links
Menus, bookings, a shop, a gallery, contact, Clay is a full site that also works as a link-in-bio, not a list of buttons.
Live in minutes, free to start
Search, pick a style, publish. No signup to see it, no credit card, and a free live address at name.clay.site.
Yours to grow
Bring a custom domain, add pro widgets, run multiple sites. It scales from a bio link to a full business site.
Your photographs, already sorted
Clay reads the pictures on your Google listing, grades them, crops them for the shape each band needs and puts the best one at the top. Nothing to upload, nothing to resize.
Hours, fees and space
What time you open and close, whether you do half days, what a full day costs, and whether you have room in the age group they need. Those three answers are the reason a parent stays on the page.
Funded hours and how they work with your fees deserve their own line, because it is the single most confusing part for a parent and the one they most often ring to ask about.
The thing that actually decides it
No parent chooses a nursery from a website. They choose it in the room, in ten minutes, from how it smells and sounds and how the staff talk to the children.
So the whole page leads to a bookable visit, with times that suit somebody who works. A form that says we will get back to you loses to the nursery offering Thursday at four.
What you can switch on
Every one of these is part of your site, not a plugin to install. Turn on what you use and leave the rest off.
What it looks like when it is live
Drawn rather than described, the page, the address, and what it can switch on.

Questions
How long does it really take?
Most people are live in two to three minutes, search your business, pick a style, publish. There is nothing to install and no signup needed to see your site first, because it is built from your Google listing rather than from a blank page.
Is it free?
Yes. You get a live site on your own name.clay.site address with a small badge in the footer, and nothing expires. The paid plan is your own domain, the badge removed and the pro features.
Do I need any tech skills?
None. If you can type your business name, you can build a Clay site: the live page is the editor, so you tap the thing you want to change. There is no code anywhere, and nothing to install or keep updated, see the WordPress comparison for what that saves.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, buy it wherever you like and point it at Clay on a paid plan; the certificate is issued for you. Until then the free name.clay.site address is a real one you can print, and it keeps working afterwards.
What matters most on the page?
Hours, fees and whether there is space. A parent is solving a timetable problem before anything else, and warmth on the page does not answer it.
Should visits be bookable online?
Yes. Every parent decides in the room, and a form that promises to get back to them loses to the nursery offering Thursday at four: how booking works.
How should funded hours be explained?
In one plain line about how they work against your own fees. It is the most confusing part for a parent and the thing they most often ring to ask.
