Ad-hoc childcare bookings, made easier
Publish the nursery sessions you can offer, let families request the places they need, and review each booking before confirming it.
Ad-hoc places, alongside your existing nursery systems.
Free to set up and preview. Publish for £5.99 a month for your first 12 months.
A little more clarity
An extra morning or afternoon can mean several messages, a capacity check and a separate payment link. Little Spaces keeps available sessions, family requests, decisions and payments together, while your nursery decides what goes ahead.
Families see the places you can offer.
Your nursery keeps control of availability and approval.
How it works
Add one-off or repeating nursery sessions. Choose the room or age group, times, capacity and price before families see anything.
See availabilitySee the child, parent or carer, requested session and payment choice together instead of searching through messages.
See your workspaceDecide which requests can go ahead, keep families updated and offer free, cash or Stripe-hosted payment where appropriate.
See the family journeyInside Little Spaces
A focused workspace for ad-hoc childcare availability, family requests and booking decisions.
01 · Availability
Publish the sessions your nursery can offer, with the right room or age group, times, capacity and price. Prepare one-off places or a repeating pattern, then preview the page before sharing it.
02 · Booking management
See the child, parent or carer, session and payment status together. Use manual review to check whether the place can go ahead, then approve or decline it from the same workspace.
The next decision, clearly in view.
03 · Your families’ experience
Give families a page that feels part of your nursery. They can view available sessions, request a place and follow their booking through a private link, without creating an account.
Confidence in the small details

Available to the first 50 paying businesses. A free account does not reserve a founding place. Existing customers keep their agreed price.
Your 12-month price protection begins with the first successful subscription payment and continues while that subscription stays active. A payment recovered within the 7-day grace keeps it. If the subscription ends, the founding price is not guaranteed when rejoining. You will be told in advance before your founding period ends and before any later price change.
A few useful answers
Still wondering about something? We’re here to help.
It gives nurseries a clear way to offer ad-hoc childcare places: publish available sessions, receive requests from families, review each request and collect payment where needed.
No. Parents and carers can request a published childcare place without signing up, then follow the booking through their private status link.
No. Your nursery gets its own branded booking page. Share it with families directly, or add the link to your existing website.
Yes. Use manual review to decide whether each request can go ahead. The nursery workflow shown here keeps approval with your team; publishing a session does not automatically approve a family’s request.
Offer free sessions, cash payment or online payment through Stripe when connected. Paid bookings need payment after approval. Booking payments go to your connected Stripe account, separately from your Little Spaces subscription.
Your nursery workspace is free to set up and preview. Start the monthly plan when you choose to publish your booking page.
The first 50 paying businesses qualify. The price is protected for 12 months from the first successful subscription payment while that subscription stays active. Recovery within the 7-day payment grace keeps that protection. If the subscription ends, the founding price is not guaranteed when rejoining. A free account does not reserve a place. Existing customers keep their agreed price and protection period.
The later price has not been set. You will be told in advance before your founding period ends and before any price change takes effect, so you can decide whether to continue.
