2. The client Childcare NZ is a non-profit organisation. They intend to create a website design for
parents with kids under 5’s. Their kids go to a day care, preschool, childcare centres or
kindergarten. The existing NZ websites such as under5s, Childcare Advisory and Ministry of
Education ERO report; doesn’t have the feature of parents rating system based on their
experience. Often times, mothers really struggled looking for the best childcare centre. Their
overall experiences are very frustrating and exhausting. There is a need to rate these childcare
centres and make this information available to the public.
This design will have some features of childcare.co.uk, Rate My Teacher, and mychild.gov.au;
plus the Ranking System.
Empower the parents, improve the childcare
services and provide an unbiased and honest
rating of childcare in New Zealand.

A Josie visits Childcare NZ (Ranking Website) and sees the top 10 Childcare Centres in NZ.
She plans to look for a childcare centre near their house, or work; or any centre in between
her house and work, so she can drop her child off.
She clicks one of the top childcare centres with a location that satisfies her needs. The link
redirects her to the centre’s profile details – exact address, contact numbers, email address,
staff lists and centre’s name.
SECOND CASE
Mary is a mother whose child goes to a childcare. She is very satisfied with its service. She
found this childcare in this website - Childcare NZ. She wants to express her satisfaction by
helping the centre increase its rank.
She signs up in the website, logs in and fills up the ranking form. Submits the form then logs
out.
The rank she gave is reflected on the centre’s rank, through averaging. If Mary goes to the
Centre’s profile page, she will see the overall rank of the centre.
