Review Cards

What are Review Cards?

The daynurseries.co.uk Review Cards are a very effective way of generating reviews for your early years setting. You can hand out the Review Cards to parents and guardians and/or place them in a stand to encourage reviews.

The cards and stands are available to Enhanced, Premium and Platinum subscribers and can be requested through your Control Panel.

If you are a Premium or Platinum subscriber, you can order customisable branded Review Cards to keep your brand consistent across all areas of your business.

The completed Review Cards are sent freepost to us at daynurseries.co.uk and our Reviews Team check and process them. Once verified by the team, you will be notified by email and you can then add a response and publish the review.

Reviews of childcare providers can only be submitted by parents/individuals responsible for a child who attends the nursery. Staff or people with a professional connection to the nursery cannot submit reviews even if they have a child at the nursery.

You can learn more about our review publishing process here.

 

This is what a Review Card looks like 

This is what a stand looks like.

We receive approximately 35 per cent of Reviews through Review Cards and 65 per cent of Reviews through website submission. Review Cards are a key ingredient to maximise the number of reviews you receive and in turn generate more enquiries.

How to customise Review Cards – Branded Review Cards

We can provide branded review cards to all nurseries and nursery groups that subscribe to a Premium or Platinum Service. This allows you to have your logo printed on the cards.

The branded review card keeps your brand consistent across all areas of your business and provides an even more professional service for your parents.

Logos appear in the top right of the card for maximum visibility and you can edit the ‘call to action’ strapline that encourages people to write a review (As per our review policy you should not specifically ask for positive only reviews or offer any form of incentive to the reviewer).

To edit your strapline and to upload your own logo to your Review Cards, go to the Control Panel section where you place your order.

You can press the preview buttons to make sure you are happy with the look before you place your order.

How to use Review Cards

Review Cards are very effective in generating reviews and as mentioned above, about 35 per cent of the total amount of reviews we receive are submitted through Review Cards.

Once you have received the cards, you can hand them out to parents and individuals responsible for a child who attends the nursery.

A top tip is to place Review Cards in a stand and position the stand to make it clearly visible to parents.

The reception area is a great spot for the stand as this is where parents drop off and collect their children – In other words, a high-traffic area.

Do remember to reorder Review Cards to ensure you always have them at hand. To reorder, simply log into your Control Panel and navigate to the Review Cards section and place a new order.

It is also a good idea to do this if you change your branding to keep your logo and strapline consistent with the other areas of your business.
