Nursery Fee Calculator

Early Years Alliance works with 33 nurseries, each with different rates for full days, mornings, afternoons, age groups, and government-funded hours.

They had an Excel spreadsheet that technically worked – but expecting parents to download it, find the right nursery, and manually calculate their costs wasn’t realistic.

The alternative was a PDF fee matrix. Accurate, but nobody would read it.

Neither option helped parents answer the most basic question: “What will this actually cost me?”

We turned the spreadsheet logic into an interactive calculator on their website. Parents select a nursery, choose their child’s age and session type, enter their funded hours, and instantly see weekly and monthly costs with a full breakdown.

What it delivers:

  • Immediate answers without downloads or manual calculation
  • Handles all 33 nurseries with their individual pricing
  • Accounts for government-funded hours deductions
  • Full WordPress backend so the team can update figures when rates change

For EYA, this isn’t just a calculator – it’s a credibility asset. It demonstrates their expertise at the exact moment parents are making decisions, strengthening their position as the early years authority.

If you’ve got a complex spreadsheet that clients struggle to use, we can turn it into something that actually helps them.
