Who this template is for
Daycare Application Form is built for small teams who need a reliable intake process who need to collect the same complete information from everyone.
- Small teams who need a reliable intake process working in daycare forms.
- Teams who need to collect the same complete information from everyone without writing code or paying for a custom build.
- Anyone replacing chasing missing details over email with one structured record per enquiry.
- Respondents are the people you send it to — the form asks them 16 questions across 3 screens.
- Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.
Why this form is useful
It removes the cost of chasing missing details over email and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.
- 11 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
- It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
- It captures a phone number for urgent follow-up.
- It pins the request to a specific date.
- It captures a full postal address.
- It allows multiple selections without free text.
- Conditional logic hides 2 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
- Splitting the form across 3 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.

Logic and conditions blueprint
Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 2 conditional rules ship with it.
- Features advanced show logic: if “How flexible is your start date?” is Only this date works, the form dynamically exposes “Would you like to join the waiting list if that date is full?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Do you have another child already with us?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Sibling's name”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- All 2 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.
