Estimate what you could be paying per week with this simple fee calculator

Understanding funded childcare and fees can be overwhelming at times. We want to change that by being transparent, upfront and most importantly – making things easy to understand.  

Use our simple fee calculator to estimate what you'll be paying per week, and how any funded childcare hours could reduce your weekly fees. If you're not sure what funding you might be eligible for, take a look at our funding videos here or arrange a visit to speak to your nursery manager.  

Whilst we work hard on making sure everything is up to date, these figures are estimates only.  For the most accurate figure we recommend speaking with your local nursery manager.
