About our national nursery fees database

It’s tough enough finding the perfect nursery, let alone figuring out what it should cost. With all the economic changes this year, including the April 2025 updates to National Insurance, lots of nurseries have had to put their fees up. This makes it almost impossible to know if you’re paying a fair price or where you can save money.

That’s why we’re building this tool: the only single database for nursery fees across the whole UK.

This isn’t a stale price list. It’s a live resource, kept accurate with publicly available data and fresh updates from parents just like you. You don’t have to spend hours calling around anymore.

Just search by your postcode to instantly see local fee comparisons, or compare costs across the country. Use this powerful tool to feel informed, save time, and be confident that you’ve made the smartest financial choice for your family.

Each entry is added by a user. We do our best to verify each entry with publicly available information to ensure it’s the latest fees for each nursery. However we can’t guarantee that each entry will be accurate; it’s best to get in touch with a nursery to check their latest fees sheet.
