Who this template is for

Child Care Inquiry 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 10 questions across 1 screen.
  • 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.

  • 5 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.
  • Conditional logic hides 2 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
  • Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint

Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 2 conditional rules ship with it.

  • Features advanced show logic: if “What can we help with?” is Availability, the form dynamically exposes “Which month would you need to start?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “What can we help with?” is A visit or tour, the form dynamically exposes “When would suit you for a visit?”. 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.

About this template

Most first contacts are one of three questions: do you have space, what does it cost, and can I look around. Naming the topic up front lets the form ask only what that answer needs and lets you reply in a single message rather than a four-email exchange.

What this form asks

Every question is editable — rename it, make it optional, or delete it entirely.
