Calculate Your Childcare Fees

This useful tool can help provide you with an estimated weekly amount of your childcare costs, taking into account what funding you are entitled to. 

Calculate Your Fees (Active)

We understand that navigating childcare funding and fees can be daunting, so we’re here to help you find the best options for your family.

Use our easy-to-use Funding and Fees Calculator to see how your funded childcare hours could reduce your weekly nursery fees.

Before you begin, please check your funding eligibility here.

Please note:

  • All calculations are for guidance only. We recommend speaking directly with your local nursery for tailored advice.

  • This calculator does not take into consideration any consumable fees due.  

  • Some 2-year-olds may be eligible for funded childcare due to their circumstances. Find out more here. This calculator is not compatible with this type of funding, so please contact your local nursery for support.

If you have more than one child, please answer separately for each child. We offer a 10% discount on fees for the older sibling - speak to your local nursery for more information.

Sorry, we do not currently provide childcare to children under 9 months.

If you are unsure, please check what funding you are eligible for here.

Families with special circumstances should speak to their local nursery for advice on funding to suit their individual needs.

 

Please confirm if all of these statements are TRUE for your situation:

 

  • I plan for my child to attend nursery all year round

  • My child would be attending nursery as usual during school holidays

  • My child is unlikely to take holidays/absences of more than 2 weeks at a time

  • I have no plans to reduce my child's weekly sessions in the next 12 months

  • This would be the only nursery/childcare setting that my child would attend
