Maternity & Childcare Services Satisfaction Survey
Expectant and new parents evaluate, compare, and choose maternity and childcare providers based on clinical quality, cost, and post-care support, so you can sharpen acquisition messaging, fix retention gaps, and benchmark service positioning.
CONTEXT & RELEVANCE
Why run this survey now
Most maternity and childcare providers don't lose families purely on cost. They lose them due to inconsistent care quality, unclear clinical communication, facility trust gaps, post-discharge support failures, and misaligned service expectations, none of which fully show up in patient exit forms or occupancy dashboards.
If you are...
- Hospital maternity unit head
- Childcare chain vs clinic competition
- Pediatric service line leader
- Revenue and admissions growth head
- Patient experience strategy lead
You're likely facing...
- Repeat visit drop-off: post-delivery stage
- Facility trust: private vs public gap
- Care continuity: discharge to follow-up
- Fee sensitivity vs perceived quality
- Referral conversion: word-of-mouth vs digital
This will help answer...
- Satisfaction drivers beyond clinical outcome
- Drop-off stage: consultation to admission
- Segment preference: private vs chain facility
- Fee tolerance by service tier
- Loyalty triggers and switching reasons

OBJECTIVE
WHAT WE DID
DELIVERED
Postnatal care channel preference & friction mapping (India)
Childcare centre selection criteria & messaging territories (South India)
Postnatal care channel preference & friction mapping (India)
OBJECTIVE
A private maternity hospital network needed to isolate why first-time mothers and repeat mothers chose between home-visit nursing services and facility-based postnatal care , and which friction points drove early dropout from structured follow-up programs.
WHAT WE DID
Ran a structured quant survey across 480 respondents in 6 metros, capturing channel selection triggers , appointment adherence rates , cost sensitivity thresholds , and perceived quality gaps between home-visit and facility-based postnatal touchpoints by parity and household income band.
DELIVERED
A channel preference map by mother segment, a ranked friction list across 9 postnatal journey stages, and a pricing corridor for home-visit nursing packages that the network could pressure-test against its current fee structure.
