What happens

  1. An empty place costs money every week it stays empty. Places-to-fill alerts help you fill it sooner.

  3. Your page on The Nursery Register shows the places straight away, and parents nearby are told the moment you have room.

  4. Parents' enquiries come straight to you. With the enquiry and show-round tools switched on, they are answered instantly and the visit is booked for you.

  5. When the place is filled, one click switches the alert off.
