Project Overview

Where the project began

Background

Community Kids Haven frames itself around belonging — "not only your child's home away from home but a nurturing haven" — operating multiple centres within the same education group as The Fern and The Hive.

Objectives

Carry that sense of warmth and community into the site itself, while giving every centre location clear, easy-to-find information and a simple path to booking a visit.

Audience

Parents seeking a childcare provider that feels genuinely community-oriented, not just convenient — evaluating tone and trust as much as logistics.

The Challenge

What we were solving for

The brand's calmer, more grounded tone needed a visual treatment distinct from its more energetic sister brands

"Play. Learn. Develop." needed to read as a real philosophy throughout the site, not just a hero tagline

Multi-centre structure again required content architecture that scales cleanly across locations

Real photography of centres and children needed careful, respectful presentation true to a community-care brand

Discovery & Strategy

Planning before a single pixel

Reviewed the brand's tree-ring mark and peach-and-navy palette to plan a calmer, more grounded UI direction

Mapped parent priorities specific to a "community haven" positioning — belonging and trust alongside logistics

Planned content sections that let the "Play. Learn. Develop." philosophy show up in specifics, not just taglines

Reused the group's proven centre-finder and booking architecture for consistency and speed to launch

Design Process

Building the visual language

A grounded navy-and-peach palette, calmer than sibling brands, reflecting the "haven" positioning

A tree-ring logo mark echoed subtly in supporting UI details for quiet brand consistency

Editorial-style photography presentation of real centres and community moments

The same reliable page patterns as the group's other sites, restyled for this brand's tone

Development

Engineering it properly

Built on the shared Next.js, React, and Tailwind CSS foundation used across the education group's sites

Headless CMS content model configured for Community Kids Haven's specific programs and centre data

Tour-booking and enquiry flows wired into the group's shared lead-handling backend

Deployed on AWS alongside sibling-brand infrastructure for consistent performance and reliability
