Kids Planet runs day nurseries across the country. The designs for its new website were drawn and the launch date was set, but the agency engaged to build the site was unable to meet that date. Studio Graft was brought in to build it to the same deadline. We met it.
A nursery website is a search tool before it is anything else. A parent arrives with a postcode and a child's age, and needs to find the right nursery, see it and book a visit. Kids Planet had the designs for all of this and a launch deadline already agreed. What it needed was a team who could step in and build the site in the time left.
We built the site in WordPress from the Figma designs Kids Planet supplied. Phase one was scoped tightly so that it could ship: every page template and every piece of front-end behaviour a parent touches, with the heavier back-office logic held for phase two. That meant the nursery finder with its map, filters and distance search, a page for each nursery with opening hours, facilities, reviews and an enquiry panel, and the location, content and news pages around them.
Building to someone else's design is its own discipline. The job is fidelity: spacing, type and behaviour as drawn, at every screen size. Feedback came in rounds from the Kids Planet team and was worked through page by page.
Phase one went live in October 2026, on the agreed deadline.
Kids Planet has kept Studio Graft on for phase two, which adds the fee calculator, careers and the group's Irish site. We also handle day-to-day requests from its web team.
