Why we're building the only place where Parents can find every Childminder,Agency or Ofsted.

By the Nexumly Team

Let me tell you something that might sound small, but it's not.

For years, childminders have been scattered.

Not because they want to be. Not because they're disorganised. But because there has never been one single place where parents can find all of them.

You want a nursery? That's easy. Type "nursery near me" into Google and you'll get pages of results. The word "nursery" has been marketed so well over the years that parents don't even have to think about it.

But a childminder?

That's different.

A parent might find one on Facebook. Another on a local council list that hasn't been updated since 2019. Another through a friend of a friend. Another through an agency website. Another through a random directory.

It's exhausting. And it's not fair.

I Know This Because I Lived It

A while back, the founder of Nexumly was trying to find a childminder for her own child.

She had no idea where to start.

She went on Google. She went on council websites. She went on Facebook groups. She went on agency platforms. She asked friends. She asked colleagues. She lost track of who she'd contacted and who she hadn't.

Honestly? She gave up more than once.

She kept thinking: Why isn't there just one place?

That question never left her.

So We Built It

Nexumly is that place.

A single space where parents can find every childminder.

Not just agency-registered. Not just Ofsted-registered. All of them.

Because we believe that every childminder, whether you've been doing this for twenty years or twenty months, deserves to be found.

But Here's What Makes Us Different

We're not just a directory.

We are a platform dedicated to promoting childminders.

That means we don't just list you and walk away. We run social media campaigns. We share your stories. We produce content, all designed to shift parent perception away from the automatic "search for nurseries" mindset.

We exist because childminders shouldn't have to work twice as hard as nurseries just to be seen.

We Need Your Help

Right now, we're building the most complete, up-to-date, parent-friendly space for childminders ever created.

But we can't do it alone.

Here's what we're asking:

  1. Create a free account on Nexumly. It takes two minutes. No obligation.
  2. Share this with your childminder peers. Send them the link. Tell them why you signed up. Ask them to do the same.

The more childminders on Nexumly, the more parents will come. And the more parents come, the more childminders get seen.

That's the circle we're trying to build.

The Bigger Picture

We're not naive. We know that one directory won't solve everything.

But we also know that for years, childminders have been scattered. Left to find customers for their small home businesses. Some rely on word of mouth. Others work incredibly hard just to get seen.

That's not right.

And we're not going to sit back and accept it.

We're building Nexumly to be the single point where parents find every childminder. And then we're going to keep promoting you, keep talking about you, and keep fighting for you to be the first choice for parents – not the option they have to dig for.

So Here's the Ask

If you're a childminder:

Then send this blog post to another childminder you know.

Together, we can stop being scattered. Together, we can be found.
