Social media marketing strategy
Little Acorns Daycare
Little Acorns Daycare will use calm pictures of its rooms, play ideas for home and quick replies to turn local parents on Facebook and Instagram into messages and visits, without ever showing a child's face or name unless a parent has agreed.

Fix these first
Put the ages you take, your hours and a message button at the top of the Facebook page, so a parent knows in a moment whether you can help.
Agree a written photo consent form with every parent and keep a list of which children may appear anywhere, before the next post goes up.
Open a WhatsApp Business account with a greeting that asks which age group and which days a parent needs, and reply within the hours you state.

Week 1
The baby room before the day begins
Our baby room is set up for the morning: soft mats, low shelves and a quiet corner for sleep. Parents often ask what a day looks like, so come and see it for yourself. Message us to arrange a time to visit.
Rainy day play at home
Four rainy day ideas for small children, with an adult close by: a tub of water and a sponge to squeeze, a muffin tin to fill with soft toys, a big box to hide in, a song to sing. Save this for the next wet afternoon, and message us to see how our days run.
Places in the toddler room
We have places in our [age group] room from [month]. Each day has time for play, stories and sleep, and for the garden when the weather allows. Call [phone] or message us to ask about a place.
Week 2
Ask us which room would suit
Not sure which room your child would join? Send us their age and the days you need, and we will tell you what we have and when you can come to look round. Reply here or call [phone].
The garden before the children arrive
A quiet look at our garden before the children arrive, ready for another day of digging, climbing and splashing. Time outdoors is part of every day. Message us to book a visit.
The story corner
The preschool story corner: a rug, a few soft toys and the book of the week. Reading together is the heart of our mornings. Message us to arrange a visit and see it in person.
Week 3
Meet the baby room leader
Meet [name], who leads our baby room. [Name] spends the first week helping each new family settle in at their own pace. Message us to arrange a visit and meet the team in person.
How we settle a new child
How we settle a new child: a short first visit with you, then a longer morning, then a full day when your child is ready. Swipe to see each step, and message us to plan yours.
After-school care
Collecting from school is hard when work runs late. Our after-school care gives older children a snack, play and a quiet corner until you arrive. Send us your school and the days you need, or call [phone].
Week 4
Questions to ask on any visit
Looking round a daycare soon? Ask how they settle new children, who looks after your child each day, what happens if a child is unwell and how you will hear about the day. We are happy to go through each one on a visit. Message us to arrange one.
The art wall
Our art wall this week: leaf printing and a lot of glitter. Every piece goes home when it is dry. Come and see the rooms for yourself: message us to arrange a visit.
Thank you to our parents
Thank you to the parents who left us kind words this month. Your messages mean a great deal to the whole team. If you are looking for a place, message us or call [phone] and we will arrange a visit.
Words in [square brackets] are for you to fill in, like a price or an offer.
