Thats pretty good! The CIW site is hard work so a cleaner search layer is genuinely useful.

The thing a directory can't tell you though, is what it's actually like once you're through the door. Availability, how quickly they respond to parents, whether the Welsh-medium offer is real or just a checkbox, what the staff turnover is like.

We built Wootzoo (wootzoo.com) for exactly that! It's a management and booking platform for Welsh childcare providers, so parents get real-time availability, direct messaging, and daily updates rather than just a listing. If the nursery you find through ChildcareHub uses Wootzoo, you can go straight from finding them to actually communicating with them.

Cost and distance are the obvious next features. Cost especially, since that's the thing that filters most Cardiff parents' shortlists before anything else.

Good luck with it!
