Who this template is for

Childcare Exit Survey 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 12 questions across 2 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.

  • 8 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 scores satisfaction on a consistent scale.
  • Conditional logic hides 1 question until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
  • Splitting the form across 2 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
  • Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

About this template

The most honest feedback a centre ever gets arrives from families who are already leaving. Kept short and answered one question per screen, this survey separates reasons you cannot control from reasons you can, asks what nearly changed their mind, and finds out whether they would return or recommend you anyway.

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